Under 8.04 I did this to get the tap to select working on my thinkpad with a trackpoint in the keyboard. Is this still the same under 10.04? I'm not the greatest with the terminal so I want to check before I start a change.
Code:
sudo apt-get install sysfsutils -Once that is installed, do;
Code:
gksudo gedit /etc/sysfs.conf -and add this line to the bottom, then save it.
Code:
devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/press_to_select=1
(several days later)
OK, I went ahead and tried it and this is the way to get the trackpoint working - I originally had one too many spaces in the code but now I beleive the code as shown is correct for you people with a thinkpad (and maybe others) who want to use the trackpoint with tap.
AGAIN! Now it stopped working after a reboot. Does this command not make it permanent??
