Hi friends, i installed with success Slitaz 4.0 on my old IBM Thinkpad 600e laptop (PII, 544Mb RAM, 60Gb HD). All things work fine apart for the trackpoint, it does not work and is not recognized, i think because the psmouse module is missing.

Slitaz 4.0 on IBM Thinkpad 600e: trackpoint does not work and is not recognized.

Can you provide some logs? dmesg, Xorg.log.0, and lspci would be fine, that way we can look for errors in the loading of the trackpad driver.
Cheers.

Try
# tazpkg get-install hardware-thinkpad-600ePosted 10 years ago # -
I already installed hardware-thinkpad-600e and configured every thing that work fine but does not the trackpoint. xinput lists every input device (mouse, keyboard, joypad, etc..) but does not the trackpoint. I have discovered by google that the problem may be the psmouse module that in slitaz 4.0 is missing so the kernel does not recognize well it.

The 'IBM Trackpoint PS/2 mouse' driver (CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_TRACKPOINT) is already in the kernel :
$ grep MOUSE_PS2 wok/linux/stuff/linux-2.6.37-slitaz.config
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2=y
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_ALPS=y
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_LOGIPS2PP=y
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_SYNAPTICS=y
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_LIFEBOOK=y
CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_TRACKPOINT=y
# CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_ELANTECH is not set
# CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_SENTELIC is not set
