Using the TrackPoint Driver

Posted March 23, 2004 - 11:28am by Stephen Evanchik

I probably should explain how to use the TrackPoint Driver instead of just providing the kernel patches. Here’s some more information to help you use the driver.

Compiling the driver

You must compile PS/2 mouse support as a module as seen in the following:



Example make menuconfig for psmouse as a module





Configuring the driver

In my /etc/modprobe.conf I have the following: 

options psmouse speed=120 sens=240 pts=1

Which turns Press to Select on, adjusts the speed and sensitivity accordingly.
