I have one of these Thinkpad (S540) with a trackpoint that does not have physical buttons. See this article and the first photo to illustrate what I mean: http://mariospr.org/2015/03/30/bringing-sanity-back-to-my-t440s/ In Leap, the mapping is incorrect, so the trackpoint middle button does not support scrolling. The workaround in the article above might work even though it is aimed to Fedora. But disabling the synaptics driver is not a clean solution. A while ago, a kernel patch was offered : https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88609 For some reason, it seems not to be applied in Leap. As said, it works out of the box on other distro, including Fedora. Could you check if this patch is included and, if not, could it be added please? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I finally found how to make it work : 1. Install the xf86-input-libinput, which is not installed by default. 2. Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf to add 2 lines in the section for clickpads to enable the wheel : Option "EmulateWheel" "1" Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2" The section should look like this: Section "InputClass" Identifier "Default clickpad buttons" MatchDriver "synaptics" Option "SoftButtonAreas" "50% 0 82% 0 0 0 0 0" Option "SecondarySoftButtonAreas" "58% 0 0 15% 42% 58% 0 15%" Option "EmulateWheel" "1" Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2" EndSection While it is nice that it works, I think that on this point the life should be made easier for the average user. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Hmm. "EmulateWheel" and "EmulateWheelButton" are evdev driver, not synaptics driver options. Confused.

Indeed, I also checked the code, they don't exist for synaptics. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Oh yes, sorry, after doing a lot of tests with many conf all around, I got confused.

So, and I just tested that to make sure, the only thing needed is installing xf86-input-libinput.

Default settings seem to be enough (I don't see any mention for the wheel in the Suse default configuration file).

Ok, thanks for verifying! Could you please attach the Xserver log file of the working configuration? Thanks! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

The logfile shows that libinput is used for all input devices including the trackpoint, the synaptics touchpad and the 'Thinkpad Extra Buttons'. It looks like the advice should be to install xf86-input-libinput for Synaptics touchpads expecially on ThinkPads on Leap 42.1. For Leap 42.2 and TW this is already the default. I don't like to change the configuration for a released product as it may have side effects for other users. So we are most likely not changing anything for 42.1. Let's keep the result of this as an advice to users. I'm changing this to 'Fixed' as it is resolved for TW and will be resolved for the next Leap release. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
