Trackpoint Scroll Problem

Hi guys,

I switched to arch a few weeks ago and I love it... but one of the problems I'm having is with my xorg.conf.

I have a thinkpad t61 and I love using the trackpoint and center touch pad click to scroll up and down on webpages (much like center mouse click and scroll on a normal mouse) but I can't get it to work. I also had the tap to click running and when I upgraded synaptic it broke. Any ideas? Thanks

Here is my xorg.conf

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier     "X.org Configured"
    Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
    InputDevice    "Synaptics Touchpad" "CorePointer"
    InputDevice    "Mouse0" 
    InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Re: Trackpoint Scroll Problem

What version of Xorg are you running? Have you tried this? http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_co … TrackPoint
