Not only is this a total pain to get working in software, it has several serious flaws that make using it a very frustrating experience – Namely the fact that there was no way to tell which button you were pressing leading to frequent mistakes. In November 2013 I purchased a new ThinkPad T440s, this had the new clickpad design where the physical TrackPoint buttons had been replaced with software emulated buttons on the clickpad itself. Like many ThinkPad users, I use the TrackPoint pointing stick almost exclusively. This clearly shows the correct MatchProduct identifier for your TrackPoint. In order to find the appropriate “MatchProduct” line for your specific system/distro, run the “xinput” command which will produce an output such as the following: ~ ]$ xinput The difference here is the “MatchProduct” line, on Arch this was “PS/2 Synaptics TouchPad” however on Debian it is “TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint”. I have since moved to Debian Unstable (Sid) on the system which required a slightly changed config as follows: My previous post about fitting a TouchPad with physical TrackPoint buttons to a Lenovo ThinkPad T440s provided a configuration file for Arch Linux.
