Change TrackPoint speed on ThinkPad X1 Carbon 2018 (Gen 6) under the GNU/Linux

2020-03-06

Background

I installed Arch Linux on ThinkPad X1 Carbon 2018.

I edited /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/ the file as well as ThinkPad x240 because I wanted to speed up TrackPoint.

But did not works…

Solution

Create the following file.

Path: /etc/libinput/local-overrides.quirks

Content:

[Trackpoint Override]
MatchUdevType=pointingstick
AttrTrackpointMultiplier=2.5

TrackPoint is a really good pointing device!
