<p>Atod: </p> <hr /> <div>On {{Fedora}} 5, with kernels 2.6.15 and forward, the path does not include {{path|serio2}}; it stops at {{path|serio0}}. <br /> <br /> 2006-07-18<br /> On {{Fedora}} 5, with kernels 2.6.16 and forward, the path is {{path|/sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio0/serio2}}<br /> <br /> 2005-11-07<br /> OpenSuSE 10.0 has a kernel based on 2.6.13 (probably heavily patched), but the directory /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio0/serio2 does not exist.<br /> instead, it looks like this:<br /> hoppetosse:/sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio0 # ls -l<br /> total 0<br /> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Nov 7 18:38 bind_mode<br /> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Nov 7 18:38 bus -&gt; ../../../../bus/serio<br /> -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Nov 7 18:38 description<br /> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Nov 7 18:38 driver -&gt; ../../../../bus/serio/drivers/psmouse<br /> --w------- 1 root root 4096 Nov 7 18:38 drvctl<br /> drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Nov 7 18:38 id<br /> -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Nov 7 18:38 modalias<br /> drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Nov 7 18:38 power<br /> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Nov 7 18:38 protocol<br /> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Nov 7 18:38 rate<br /> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Nov 7 18:38 resetafter<br /> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Nov 7 18:38 resolution<br /> &quot;description&quot; says it's an &quot;i8042 Aux Port&quot;. The page [[Patch to enable advanced trackpoint control]] seems to imply that a kernel patch is needed in order to get those features... this needs clarification.<br /> hmm. where can i find out whether &quot;drvctrl&quot; is what i'm looking for and what options it takes? guess it's back to RTFS...<br /> <br /> 2005-10-06<br /> It seems that new version of the patch ( 2.6.12 at least ), the press to select entry in /sys is named &quot;press_to_select&quot; and not &quot;ptson&quot;. I changed the page accordingly so that it complies with the [[Patch to enable advanced trackpoint configuration]] page.<br /> If you use an older version try :<br /> <br /> ===Press to Select===<br /> Press to Select allows you to tap the control stick which will simulate a left click. You can enable this feature by typing the following in to a terminal (you may need to be root):<br /> <br /> :{{cmdroot|echo 1 &gt; /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio0/ptson}}<br /> <br /> Press to Select should now be enabled. You can disable it in a similar manner:<br /> <br /> :{{cmdroot|echo 0 &gt; /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio0/ptson}}</div>
