Doc for it is here: > https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/trackpoint-configuration.html Hello Peter Hutterer, To adjust the trackpoint speed from userspace: If the libinput version is lower than 1.9.0, we could set POINTINGSTICK_CONST_ACCEL=0.25 If the libinput version is higher than 1.12.0, we could set AttrTrackpointMultiplier=0.25 But if we use libinput-1.10.0,  how could we adjust the speed? Many thanks in advance.
