I have configured hal to make scrolling with the trackpoint work (using the middle mouse) following this guide: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_co … #Scrolling

Hello,
with lshal I get this:
input.product = 'ThinkPad Extra Buttons' (string)
input.product = 'Lid Switch' (string)
input.product = 'Macintosh mouse button emulation' (string)
input.product = 'Sleep Button' (string)
input.product = 'Video Bus' (string)
input.product = 'Power Button' (string)
input.product = 'PC Speaker' (string)
input.product = 'PS/2 Generic Mouse' (string)
input.product = 'AT Translated Set 2 keyboard' (string)
input.product = 'HDA Digital PCBeep' (string)There is no "info.product" string="TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" entry. You must change your *.fdi file in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/*. Replace TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint by PS/2 Generic Mouse. For me it works. Good Luck!

I've got exactly the same problem with katzen -- upgrade and no more touchpad scroll.
tried newyew's method, and got:
$lshal | grep input.product
input.product = 'Lid Switch' (string)
input.product = 'Macintosh mouse button emulation' (string)
input.product = 'Sleep Button' (string)
input.product = 'Video Bus' (string)
input.product = 'Power Button' (string)
input.product = 'PC Speaker' (string)
input.product = 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad' (string)
input.product = 'AT Translated Set 2 keyboard' (string)
input.product = 'USB Wheel Mouse' (string)But "SynPS/2 Synaptics Touchpad" was in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-x11-synaptics.fdi. So I don't think newyew's method works for me.
any other tips?
Awesome is awesome.

Thanks for the answers!
Given that:
astroboy@bunk> lshal | grep input.product ~
input.product = 'ThinkPad Extra Buttons' (string)
input.product = 'Lid Switch' (string)
input.product = 'Macintosh mouse button emulation' (string)
input.product = 'Sleep Button' (string)
input.product = 'Video Bus' (string)
input.product = 'Power Button' (string)
input.product = 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad' (string)
input.product = 'PS/2 Generic Mouse' (string)
input.product = 'AT Translated Set 2 keyboard' (string)
input.product = 'Integrated Camera' (string)I've replaced TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint with PS/2 Generic Mouse, restarted hal, but it doesn't work.

i tried hal in debug mode (sudo hald --daemon=no --verbose=yes 2>&1 | tee mylog.log) and found out that hal couldn't parse the file due to permission !
Changed the permission from
rwx------ 1 root root 580 Dec 30 19:50 /etc/hal/fdi/policy/mouse-wheel.fdi
to
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 577 Dec 30 18:53 /etc/hal/fdi/policy/mouse-wheel.fdi
solved the problem.
Actually i had to restart the system, restarting only hal wouldn't solve it !
hope it helps someone ...

I restarted the system and it scrolled again.
Anyway, thanks to newyew. I've learned a thing or two in your post.
Hey katzen, would you add a "SOLVED" in the title?
Awesome is awesome.
