Trackpoint vertical scrolling & Touchpad deactivation

Hello Forum,

i',m new to arch and everything works fine except of my desktop configuration, I'm running kde4 from the official repro.
I have a Thinkpad T500 and would like to use my Trackpoint with vertical scrolling (same behavior as in windows). I configured /etc/hal/fdi/policy/mouse-wheel.fdi as: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_co … TrackPoint tells me to do but nothing changed. Here is the content:

<match key="info.product" string="TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint">
 <merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheel" type="string">true</merge>
 <merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheelButton" type="string">2</merge>
 <merge key="input.x11_options.YAxisMapping" type="string">4 5</merge>
 <merge key="input.x11_options.XAxisMapping" type="string">6 7</merge>
 <merge key="input.x11_options.Emulate3Buttons" type="string">true</merge>
 <merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheelTimeout" type="string">200</merge>
</match>

Any idea how to fix this?
Another problem is, that i would like to deactivate the touchpad completely, anyone knows how to do this?

Regards,
teal

Re: Trackpoint vertical scrolling & Touchpad deactivation

I have the same mouse-wheel.fdi file on my T61 and it's working. At the risk of stating the obvious, are you sure you have input hotplugging properly enabled and the synaptics driver for this installed? As discussed in these wiki entries:

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beg … otplugging
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xor … otplugging
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Touchpad_Synaptics

Hope that helps, I'm new to this too. I'm not sure how to disable the touchpad.
