Thinkpad x120e Trackpoint Tap to click

copy · 2012-03-25 11:02:10

Following the arch wiki guide for tap to click with the touchpad was a success, but I'm interested in carrying the same behavior over to the trackpoint.

I figured I could just mix the configuration options on the wiki, like so:

10-synaptics.conf

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier            "Trackpoint tap to click"
    MatchProduct          "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint|DualPoint Stick|Synaptics Inc. Composite TouchPad / TrackPoint|ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint|USB Trackpoint pointing device"
    MatchDevicePath       "/dev/input/event*"
    Option                "TapButton1" "1"
EndSection

But this didn't work. Can anyone experienced with X give me a hand to enabling this functionality?

Have you looked through the synaptics wiki?

Yes.

synclient -l

only lists trackpad properties, not trackPOINT properties, as far as I can tell. Either that or they're all mixed together. In any case:

synclient -l

The hardware must support Tap-to-Click on the Trackpoint, of course.

I've looked for Tap-to-Click in the OEM Win7, but never found it. Can you confirm it's a hardware feature?
