Hi thb ,
Since you don't have a Thinkpad, I guessed I should try to find a solution.
Looking to the workaround described in issue 42950, I've found a solution for
the Thinkpad . The trackpoint device is using a configuration file named
tp4table.dat. On my Thinkpad ( X31 with Window 2000 pro ) this file is located
in c:\sys\windows\system32.
The file is looking like that :
; Record Format
; OsName,OsVersion,AppName,TopClass,ParentClass,WindowClass,ScrollingType,
; Pass,Exit
;
; OS Names : * WIN NT
; WIN OS Versions : * 95 98 ; NT OS Versions : * 4 5
; Application Name : * string
; Top Class Name : * string
; Parent Class Name : * string
; WindowClass Name : * string
; Scrolling Types : Standard WheelVkey WheelStd TwoParents VkKeys None
; Pass : 0 Use 0 to over-ride built-in program logic
; : 1 Use 1 when everything else has failed
; Flags : 0 Don't exit function after match has succeed
; : 1 Exit function after match has succeeded
; : 2 Special check for FindHorzProc (SB_HORZ) that
; requires that the CLIPCHILDREN flag not be set in
; a horiz scroll bar window
; : One or both of these flags should be specified
; : 4 Rule applies to 2 button Trackpoint system
; : 8 Rule applies to 3 button Trackpoint system
;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; Pass 0 rules (These rules run first)
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

---------------------------------------
I've added this line :
; Soffice
*,*,soffice.bin,*,*,SALFRAME,WheelStd,0,9
Then restart the PC or kill and restart "tp4serv.exe"
Now , the trackpoint is scrolling in OpenOffice .
