Disable the IBM TrackPoint
Disable the IBM TrackPoint
My ThinkPads come with IBM’s TrackPoint, the little red nub sitting
between the G, H and B keys. I don’t want it active, though, it has a
drift and I cannot fix it unless I change my keyboard. Thus, this
module exposes a way to turn it off. Here’s the skeleton of the
nixos.disable-ibm-trackpoint module.
{
flake.modules.nixos.disable-ibm-trackpoint = {
<<udev-rule>>
};
}Disabling the TrackPoint
The TrackPoint shows up to the input stack as a regular pointer
device, so to disable it I can’t simply blacklist a driver — libinput
and friends would still pick it up through evdev. Instead, I match it
by its device name and clear the ID_INPUT, ID_INPUT_MOUSE and
ID_INPUT_POINTINGSTICK udev properties on it, which tells the input
stack to simply ignore the device as a pointing device.
services.udev.extraRules = ''
ATTRS{name}=="*TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint", ENV{ID_INPUT}="", ENV{ID_INPUT_MOUSE}="", ENV{ID_INPUT_POINTINGSTICK}=""
