configure-trackpoint

Configure-trackpoint is a Gnome TrackPoint configuration tool written by Cheuksan Edward Wang (<wang02139_AT_gmail.com>). It uses the linux kernel 2.6 TrackPoint driver written by Stephen Evanchik. If you are running a recent 2.6 kernel, this driver is included. Users of 2.4 kernel are recommended to use the Linux TrackPoint Utilities written by Till Straumann.

Configure-trackpoint depends on sysfsutils. If you are running Ubuntu or Debian, you can install sysfsutils by the command "sudo apt-get install sysfsutils".
