Tobias,

the problem is that your rule assigns the properties to a parent device, not the eventX interface (which X.org looks for). Please try

ENV{ID_INPUT_MOUSE}==1, ATTRS{name}==”DualPoint Stick”, ENV{x11_options.EmulateWheel}=”true”, [...]

Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/InputConfiguration for some details.

I can’t get it to work. Udev rules have no effect:

D*mn, you already had updated the one in your link, Martin! Dismiss my previous post.

Just want to share the rule modification needed with the latest udev:
ACTION!=”add”, GOTO=”xorg_synaptics_end”
KERNEL!=”event*”, GOTO=”xorg_synaptics_end”
ENV{ID_INPUT_TOUCHPAD}!=”1″, GOTO=”xorg_synaptics_end”

# trackpoints satisfy above conditions, too, so we need to check if the device

Okay, I found the example in xorg_synaptics_quirks.

Martin, can you explain me which of the rules.d files I should use as an example? Would I use the IMPORT{program}= construct with a call to xinput?

Also, this thread seems relevant:

Thanks.

I don’t know why I don’t have an xorg.conf. I guess because I thought it also went out of style.

When I put the xinput commands in my .profile then the settings are lost when I resume the machine from suspend. And .profile is not sourced again.

I’m gonna try with udev rules.

It has always worked to put them into xorg.conf, of course. If you used fdi files, and want to continue to use something system-wide (as opposed to your ~/.profile) and non-xorg.conf, you can rewrite the hal fdi files into udev rules, which should be pretty straightforward with the already existing rules as examples.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is the new, sanctioned way to set input device properties now that fdi files went out of style?

I mean, I can set them via the xinput program, but how do I set them on every boot properly?

I need my little nipple mouse to emulate mouse wheeling, which gives the best scrolling experience ever.

Tormod, the additional protocols were discussed with Julien a few days ago. I asked him to add those to his git tree. If there are too many, I’ll write a small udev prober to check the input capabilities to figure out which device is a touchpad.

The misworking sleep/power buttons are due to gnome-power-manager dieing:

– DBUS error: Could not get owner of name ‘org.freedesktop.Hal’: no such name
** (gnome-power-manager:7872): WARNING **: Either HAL or DBUS are not working!

I’ll look into that soon.
