Trackpoint udev settings

khaledez · 2012-03-07 21:32:01

Hello,

I've used this HOWTO http://www.khaledez.ws/2011/09/howto-co … linux.html to conigure Trackpoint on ThinkPad.
Xorg configuration works as expected, but for udev, every time I boot into arch I have to execute `udevadm trigger` to activate speed and sensitivity.
Is there any way to make it permenant using configuration (not by executing command on startup)?
And if it is wrong what I did in order to configure Trackpoint, what is the way to configure Trackpoint?

Regards.

Does this approach work for you?

I tried bohoomil mentioned approach which is:

SUBSYSTEM=="serio", DRIVERS=="psmouse", WAIT_FOR="/sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/sensitivity", ATTR{sensitivity}="255"

but it didn't work, even when I execute `udevadm trigger` it didn't work.

A quick and dirty solution would be to simply add "usevdm trigger" to your .xinitrc or whatever script you use to start your window manager. Though not the ideal solution it should work.

I've also tried using the udev method mentioned at thinkwiki.org, without success: I keept getting the error " udevd[177]: invalid rule '/etc/udev/rules.d/10-trackpoint.rules:1" at boot. Frankly, I'm not sure what else to try.
