Sensitivity of Synaptics pointing stick
Hi,
it looks like I have a Synaptics pointing stick on my Lifebook E8110, connected as PS/2 pass-through device via a Synaptics touchpad. It works, but it is horribly insensitive, making me crack my fingers regularly. Is anyone aware of a way to tune the sensitivity of this device (like one can do with Thinkpad trackpoints)?
I once had Windows on this box, but I don't recall anymore if it came with some tuning software, thus I don't know if the hardware can be tuned at all. If it can be tuned, are "just" the specs lacking? Did anyone already try to obtain them from Synaptics?

It's strange, because I have the same laptop and both touch pad and touch stick are working very well. Try setting MinSpeed, MaxSpeed, AccelFactor and TrackstickSpeed parameters.

It doesn't like me: I do not see any impact. Could you send me your XF11Config to crosscheck?
TIA,

AccelFactor and TrackstickSpeed parameters.

Sure:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "HorizScrollDelta" "0"
Option "SHMConfig" "true"EndSection

Hmm, but that's for the touchpad, not the trackpoint. And it doesn't contain any sensitivity parameters. /me is confused.
