[Bug 1013647] dell 7470 - trackpoint issues
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1013647 http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1013647#c13 --- Comment #13 from Max Staudt <mstaudt@suse.com> --- (In reply to Martin Wilck from comment #12)
With these settings, the track point is still no precision device, but I'd say that's not what it was made for.
IMHO, it is meant to be a precision device, even though a cumbersome one. The problem I saw on the machine I tested it on was that we don't get events around the very dead center of the trackpoint. We only get them once it's past a certain threshold, and by that time the pointer is supposed to move very fast. I can't debug this further as I no longer have the machine, sorry!
Btw, kernel changes to modify the device speed seem to be deprecated upstream:

That looks like they just got rid on an old hack. It didn't allow interactive speed changes like the TrackPoint driver does (trackpoint.c). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
