    Adjust Trackpoint Lines-Per-Scroll?

    So, I'm trying to increase the sensitivity of the middle scroll button. Each tap of the trackpoint only does about one line of text. When I have my Thinkpad travel mouse plugged in, the Lenovo Mouse Suite comes on and I can adjust the scroll wheel. The trackpoint is then customizable for middle scroll sensitivity. However, after removing the mouse, it goes back to its original settings.

    Does anyone know how to accomplish this? Use a different kind of driver? Keep the mouse suite on all the time? Any help would be appreciated.

    ....
    I forgot to mention, that even with the Travel Mouse plugged in, the scroll sensitivity can go back to slow if I adjust any mouse properties. It got a little better after uninstalling the Mouse suite, but still.

    I'll tell you if you really look like in your avatar. Otherwise.. suffer!

    How about Mouse-wheel-vertical scrolling? mine's set at 6 lines at a time.

    W7 here.

    Fn+F8 for settings. Adjust the line per scroll, TrackPoint sensitivity, and scroll style to suit your preference.

    The "Wheel" tab disappears when I remove the mouse. At least for now, the scroll sensitivity is still good, but it will probably go back to slow if I cough. I do see trackpoint sensitivity and scroll style but not line per scroll:

    I only see it in the "Wheel" tab as well.. plug in a mouse, change it then see if it applies to your trackpoint
