Synopsis¶

thinkpad-trackpoint [on|off]

Description¶

This program enables/disables the TrackPoint of the ThinkPad. If no option is given, it toggles the TrackPoint on/off.

Options¶

on|off

If you want to enable the touch screen, use on. Otherwise use off.

If you omit this option, the script will toggle the TrackPoint on/off.

Exit Status¶

0: Everything okay.
1: Some error.

Config¶

In the configuration file, you can set the xinput name of the TrackPoint. The ThinkPad X220 Tablet has TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint for instance. The default configuration option is just TrackPoint to be rather general. This is how you change it in the configuration:

[input]
trackpoint_device = TrackPoint
