* 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.
|
||
#+begin_src nix :tangle yes
|
||
{
|
||
flake.modules.nixos.disable-ibm-trackpoint = {
|
||
<<udev-rule>>
|
||
};
|
||
}
|
||
#+end_src

** 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.
|
||
#+name: udev-rule
|
||
#+begin_src nix
|
||
services.udev.extraRules = ''
|
||
ATTRS{name}=="*TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint", ENV{ID_INPUT}="", ENV{ID_INPUT_MOUSE}="", ENV{ID_INPUT_POINTINGSTICK}=""
|
||
'';
|
||
#+end_src
