I thought it's one of the "killer featurer", which make openSUSE ideal for ThinkPads...

When middle button is pressed and the TrackPoint stick is pushed, the driver switches to a scrolling mode. In the scrolling mode every "push" of the stick scrolls in the direction of the "push". Now there is no way how to move the cursor with the TrackPoint, instead scrolling occurs. After releasing the middle button, the driver switches back to normal mode.

Interesting. Which driver is this? I assume it's the "mouse driver". You could attach your old xorg.conf from 11.1 if still possible.

The good thing is that the middle button can still be used as middle button. It's enough not to push the TrackPoint stick when pressing the middle button.

I've found two options in 11.1's xorg.conf, which are not it the 11.2's: Option "EmulateWheel" "on" Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"

Probably you added them yourself or we set these options by default for your hardware. We do this for some devices. To verify this I would need the output of 'lsusb'.

Nevertheless adding them to 11.2's xorg.conf does not help.

Since we switched to HAL/evdev input based configuration with 11.2 you need to add Option "AutoAddDevices" "off" to "ServerFlags" section now.

Thanks for the reference.

It is (see above). We already have some entries for this feature in /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/11-mouse.fdi. It depends on the vendor and device ID. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I am quite sure it was added by default in 11.1. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Ok. As already assumed it's the "mouse" driver. (In reply to comment #7)

The output of 'lsusb': Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

No mouse among these. (In reply to comment #8)

In case you wanted the output of "lshal" instead of "lsusb".

No mouse either. At least not with a detectable vendor/device ID. So I'm afraid we can't detect your IBM trackpoint and configure it automatically.
