TrackPoint wheel emulation lost on suspend/resume

[Håvard H. Garnes]

Binary package hint: xorg

I have a Thinkpad T60p, and on suspend/resume the scrollwheel emulation on my trackpoint is lost. I am able to restore it by doing

xinput set-int-prop "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" "Evdev Wheel Emulation Button" 8 2
xinput set-int-prop "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" "Evdev Wheel Emulation Timeout" 8 200

but if I insert that into for example /etc/acpi/resume.d/01scrollwheel_emulation-restart.sh it does not work at all.

The checkbox for scrollwheel emulation is checked in GPointing Device Settings, and un-and-re checking it does not help. Restarting X also helps.

Further experimentation shows that this solution works:

$ cat /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-trackpoint.conf
Section "InputClass"
 Identifier "Trackpoint Wheel Emulation"
 MatchProduct "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint|DualPoint Stick|Synaptics Inc. Composite TouchPad / TrackPoint|ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint|USB Trackpoint pointing device|Composite TouchPad / TrackPoint"
 MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
 Option "EmulateWheel" "true"
 Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
 Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false"
 Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7"
 Option "YAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
