| + | ======Thinkpad Trackpoint settings====== | ||
| + | The trackpoint (red thingie on the keyboard to control the mouse cursor) may be to sensitive for you; the mouse settings in the Cinnamon desktop environment (and possibly other DEs as well) don't affect the trackpoint much. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Here is what you can do, based on these [[https://askubuntu.com/questions/37824/what-is-the-best-way-to-configure-a-thinkpads-trackpoint|AskUbuntu answers]]. For present-day Linux versions (2019), try this ($ indicates commands that you enter): | ||
| + | |||
| + | $ xinput | grep -i trackpoint | ||
| + | TPPS/2 Elan TrackPoint id=12 | ||
| + | |||
| + | Note id=12 (may be different on your laptop). | ||
| + | |||
| + | $ xinput --list-props 12 | ||
| + | ... | ||
| + | libinput Accel Speed (300): 0.000000 | ||
| + | libinput Accel Speed Default (301): 0.000000 | ||
| + | ... | ||
| + | |||
| + | Experiment with the Speed setting; negative values allowed. For example, | ||
| + | |||
| + | $ xinput --set-prop 12 'libinput Accel Speed' -0.25 | ||
| + | |||
| + | Once you're satisfied, add the command as a startup application (typically under Start menu > Preferences > Startup). | ||
