Scripts for Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04 (or similar distributions) on Lenovo ThinkPads (tested on X1 Carbon 2nd Generation).
The touchpad scripts allow for emulating three trackpad buttons which do not
exist on many 2014 series ThinkPads (see
http://askubuntu.com/q/443642 for pictures).
Moreover, the touchpad scripts disable movements for part of the touchpad (only
possible with trackpad-fix.sh) or the complete touchpad (possible with
trackpad-fix.sh or libinput-disable-touchpad-movements.sh) to prevent
accidental pointer movements. Disabling the touchpad mouse pointer is useful if
the TrackPoint is supposed to be the only mouse pointer device.
- On Ubuntu 14.04, use
trackpad-fix.sh. - On Ubuntu 15.10/16.04, please install the package
xserver-xorg-input-libinputand then executelibinput-disable-touchpad-movements.sh. Do not executetrackpad-fix.sh. Scriptlibinput-disable-touchpad-movements.shwill fetch the sources of libinput, patch them, build a.debpackage, and install it. Make sure to have the Ubuntu source repositories enabled. The script will also install some packages that are needed to build the package from source. If the script fails due to a missing package dependency, install the dependency, remove the foldertmp-libinput, and runlibinput-disable-touchpad-movements.shagain.
To accelerate your TrackPoint, consider calling one of the following scripts from ~/.xprofile.
trackpoint-fast.sh: For Ubuntu 14.04.trackpoint-fast-libinput.sh: For Ubuntu 15.10/16.04. Please install the packagexserver-xorg-input-libinput.
