Bug#1005369: xserver-xorg-core: Breaks middle button trackpoint scrolling
I am on a thinkapd (the Yoga S1) and xorg libinput driver works fine (I
configure it through gnome-control-center).
I really do not know what you mean by "avoid libinput's opinions on how
my input should work". Could you give example?
https://www.mankier.com/4/libinput
these do not count as configuration options?
Cheers,
Alban
