Configure Lenovo TrackPoint on Pop!_OS #94

The GUI mouse settings only affect the touchpad, you can configure the trackpoint using xinput:

# Find the right device
xinput --list
xinput --list-props "TPPS/2 Elan TrackPoint" 

# Configure the TrackPoint speed
xinput --set-prop "TPPS/2 Elan TrackPoint" "libinput Accel Speed" -0.5

So far I've found no way of persisting this though.

Putting it in Startup Applications does nothing
Putting it in .xinitrc or .xsession does nothing

I'll put it in .bashrc.local for now.

# Configure ThinkPad TrackPoint
#
# I haven't found a way to reliably do this at startup, here it will
# effectively get run so I can forget about it, but it is not run until I open
# the terminal and then unnecessarily repeated, which is suboptimal.
