<p>Ch 123: /* Trackpoint USB keyboard? */</p> <hr /> <div>== Trackpoint USB keyboard? ==<br /> <br /> I have a French Canadian Trackpoint USB keyboard,<br /> <br /> http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v256/attack_mayo/trackpointfull.jpg<br /> <br /> and I'm wondering if I'll need a driver to use its Trackpoint with Linux (Ubuntu 7.04). I did install a driver on my current computer (Windows XP) when I got the keyboard, but maybe I didn't need it...? Or maybe it was for the Trackpoint functionality... I'm really not sure.<br /> <br /> I noticed that my keyboard doesn't seem to be even... ''known about'' at all. I see that the model # on the back is KPH0035, if that helps anyone.<br /> <br /> (No, I am not French Canadian. I covered those different keys with English stickers.)<br /> ----<br /> <br /> It should work just by plugging it in. Works for my USB trackpoint keyboard, but mine isn't French Canadian. You'll have to try to be sure ;-) [VB]<br /> ----<br /> <br /> To find out for sure, temporarily boot into Linux using a Live CD like Knoppix. --[[User:Thinker|Thinker]] 21:35, 11 July 2007 (UTC)<br /> ----<br /> <br /> Alternative names for the TrackPoint: <br /> <br /> http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/appropriate_term.png<br /> <br /> == First Trackpoint ==<br /> <br /> Was a convertible mouse/trackball made for the IBM L40SX laptop.<br /> <br /> http://www.usimperio.com/recycled/product_images/ibm/ibm_trackpoint.jpg<br /> <br /> I have one, the text on the box says, if it isn't clear - 'Personal System/2 Trackpoint for Model L40 SX' The manual for the system refers to it as the Trackpoint.</div>
