Does anyone else running openbsd on a Thinkpad have really fucked up scroll wheel emulation?
The trackpoint works fine until i try using the scroll functionality when it becomes shit. Theres a few dead forum posts from circa 2010 on this issue and I’m wondering if everyone else just puts up with it or its a hardware issue and I should get a new keyboard.
There's probably less than 10 people in the world with your setup, and they probably don't like communicating much

this board constantly shills thinkpads, and after the recent freebsd CoC debacle, openbsd as well. I was hoping some of them actually run it irl.
Chase Barnes
bumping in case theo frequents this board

Install FreeBSD and see if the issue persists. If it does go to their move lively community forums and make a new thread about it, linking the old thread, and ensuring that you used the search functionality. The FreeBSD community is usually quite helpful, and may assist you with your problem. If that's not the case, try an OpenBSD mailing list, forum, or IRC channel.

What driver are you using in X? You can just use moused -VH and it will just work.

never mind, new snapshot ~40 min ago

for the love of how do I get UTF-8 working on openbsd? I exported the locale in the shell startup config and it shows up, but no program can display those common foreign characters, not even the shell itself
I set ctype and lang to en_US.UTF-8
Logan Gonzalez
Have you tried a different font?
Nolan Hill
works out of box for me manpage recommends export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 for some software (e.g. tmux) maybe you lack fonts, try noto-cjk

BSD on a desktop. I thought about it, but in the end, why?
Josiah Thompson
fml thanks, that was it I was going crazy here
Noah Campbell
Well it's still not a DESKTOP os then is it? :^)
Chase Jenkins
Shit tier b8.

I used to run FreeBSD on the X200 perfectly, I'm about to switch to OpenBSD next week so I'll let you know how I go.
Chase Smith
And yes I'm switching because of the new CoC.
Hunter Ramirez
Why would you ever install a snapshot and not the release?
Connor Gomez
Can confirm scroll up doesn't work
Blake Russell
Why would I ever install -release unless on server?
Aaron Bell
YES! FUCKING THIS! I was gonna try OpenBSD for reals but I couldn't find a way to enable scroll emulation, at least without disabling input device hotplug.
Sebastian Lewis
Probably something to do with x.org config, it would be productive to start there. Man synaptics.

I can enable it easily with xinput, the problem is it doesn't work well. i.e not scrolling if too much pressure is applied, scrolling in the wrong direction etc. Its either a driver issue or a hardware issue, which is what I'm trying to determine.
Use same xinput options as the above, he talks about issues, which were fixed by buying a new keyboard, but seeing as scrolling works fine on linux for me I'm not convinced.
Landon Torres
Because you want a usable desktop OS.
Hunter Robinson
its unironically easier than linux if you stick as close as you can to the base install, which takes 10 minutes to do
