IBM ThinkPad T43 track point scrolling on Ubuntu

Filed under: tricks, hiweed, ubuntu

I just installed Hiweed, an Ubuntu based distributed edition on my ThinkPad T43 yesterday. Unfortunately, track point can not scroll with the blue middle button. But fortunately, there is a solution. According to this guide, add the following lines in "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" and comment the original. After reboot, scrolling works.

Section "InputDevice"
      Identifier "Configured Mouse"
      Driver "mouse"
      Option "CorePointer"
      Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
      Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
      Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on"
      Option "Emulate3TimeOut" "50"
      Option "EmulateWheel" "on"
      Option "EmulateWheelTimeOut" "200"
      Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
      Option "YAxisMapping" "4 5"
      Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7"
      Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
