Enabling trackpoint scrolling emulation in Ubuntu 11.10
by dev on Nov.23, 2011, under IT
One feature I love that is missing in a default installation of Ubuntu is horizontal and vertical scrolling in browsers by pressing the mouse wheel.
To enable it you can do the following in our terminal:
- Find out the id corresponding to your device, in this case 9:
xinput --list
xinput --list
- List the properties of your device using the id previously found:
xinput list-props 9
xinput list-props 9
- You will be interested in changing the following settings so check their ids as well:
- Evdev Wheel Emulation (260): 0
- Evdev Wheel Emulation Axes (261): 0, 0, 4, 5
- Evdev Wheel Emulation Button (264): 4
- Change these values to the following values:
xinput set-int-prop 9 260 8 1;xinput set-int-prop 9 261 8 6 7 4 5; xinput set-int-prop 9 264 8 2; - Test to see if it works.
- To store the changes permanently, create a .xsessionrc in your home directory, make it executable and store the command line from point 4 in it.
- Enjoy

Billy: What the hell’s wrong with freedom, man? That’s what it’s all about.
George: Oh yeah, that’s right, that’s what it’s all about, all right. But talkin’ about it and bein’ it – that’s two different things. I mean, it’s real hard to be free when you are bought and sold in the marketplace. ‘Course, don’t ever tell anybody that they’re not free ’cause then they’re gonna get real busy killin’ and maimin’ to prove to you that they are. Oh yeah, they’re gonna talk to you, and talk to you, and talk to you about individual freedom, but they see a free individual, it’s gonna scare ‘em.
Billy: Mmmm, well, that don’t make ‘em runnin’ scared.
George: No, it makes ‘em dangerous.
