[ltp] T30 Linux 2.6.0 Trackpoint

[Richard Neill]

Dear Andy,

That sounds more than a little odd! I'm afraid I don't know what is 
causing that. So, is it actually a kernel thing? i.e. if you boot into 
something like kernel 2.4.22 with the exact same XF86Config-4 file, does 
it work properly? If so, it must be a kernel bug - or maybe the device 
driver is different. Another thought - are you running the gpm mouse 
daemon? I'm not - but it could conceivably make a difference.

(Incidentally, are you using tp4d - that lets you change trackpoint 
settings - it's very nice, but probably not relevant here)

Sorry not to be any more help.

Regards

Richard
