NOTE!
This is based on the Gnome live CD version of Fedora 14 64bit. Your experience with KDE or XFCE may be different. While this page is still very raw, i do invite all T510 fedora users to edit and fill it up. Tested with Thinkpad T510 model 4349-4JG with Intel Core i7 processor.

Trackpoint
You can adjust the Trackpoint by passing values between 0 and 255 to /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/[speed,sensitivity,rate] either manually or at boot with this script:
#! /bin/bash # Trackpoint Settings echo -n 200 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/speed echo -n 255 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/sensitivity echo -n 255 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/rate
save it as .trackpoint-settings in your home folder.
open a terminal and change into your home folder with
cd ~
make the file executable
chmod +x .trackpoint-settings
then add the file to your rc.local (replace YOUR_HOME_DIR with your username)
su -c 'echo ". /home/YOUR_HOME_DIR/.trackpoint-settings" >> /etc/rc.local'
