The following reply was made to PR ports/167194; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Brandon Gooch <jamesbrandongooch@gmail.com> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, t-matubara@miracle.ocn.ne.jp Cc: Subject: Re: ports/167194: x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics 1.5.0 trackpoint(LENOVO) does not move Date: Sat, 11 Aug 2012 09:03:05 -0500 Guest mouse support was "purged" by this commit: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-input-synaptics/commit/?id=b19e3782a77c171ca20fc962f95923495fdb7978 Apparently, the pointing stick device will have to be presented as a separate mouse device from that point forward, with a mouse driver attached to run it. However, the FreeBSD psm(4) device still provides support for pass-through "guest" devices for synaptic toucpads, so you could investigate using the synaptics support as described here: http://wiki.freebsd.org/SynapticsTouchpad I've had to hack the psm(4) driver a bit to fix a couple of mouse button and scrolling issues, but other than those issues, it's seems to work well. -Brandon
