Hardware Tweaks
Video Driver
2D video works out of the box. To enable 3D (and compiz),
- go to system -> admin -> hardware drivers. Install "version current" driver (not 173, which seems to break suspend). Reboot
- go to system -> preferences -> appearance and change the setting under the "Visual Effects" tab. A "driver search" window may popup - cancel it.
- run the command (press alt+f2) "gksudo gedit /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-thinkpad.conf"
- paste this into the file
Section "InputClass" Identifier "Trackpoint Wheel Emulation" MatchProduct "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint|DualPoint Stick|Synaptics Inc. Composite TouchPad / TrackPoint|ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" Option "EmulateWheel" "true" Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false" Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7" Option "YAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection
- Restart X (logout and back in)
- If you want to disable horizontal scrolling, remove the line
Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7"
