Thinkpad x250 Touchpad/Clickpad OpenBSD 5.7

[binaryimp]

Hi everyone,

I just got my new x250 in the mail, and I figured it would be a good idea to try out OpenBSD, and get used to making some ports and learn the system. I read through Absolute OpenBSD, and have started skimming through documentation, all of which is great to read! But seeing as this is a new laptop, there isn't too much available.

I have seen posts on reddit (after reading r/BSD r/openbsd and r/thinkpad) I came across a few posts mentioning the great out of the box experience! Which as of now I can say for a recent laptop release I am impressed (I am happy with VESA, it doesn't get too much in the way of my work -- doing physics/science related things, aside from some 3D models rarely, but my desktop handles that issue at the moment)

There is one caveat that has become an annoyance which is the Touchpad, the hardware buttons that come with the 250 are tied to the scroll up/down features, and when remapped to left and right click -- clicking and dragging is non functional. That is to say the buttons act as once pressed and held it acts as though I clicked and let go. I would rather use the Thinkpad nub and hardware buttons to do my work but havent figured it out. Also if two finger scrolling is enabled, using two fingers mimic the hardware button settings? That is, two finger swipe up now does a left click, and down does a right click. This is fine as I disabled two finger scrolling.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated! It is using the Clickpad Firmware 8.1, and I would like to use the touchpad HW buttons as normal buttons.

My current settings are as such:

$ synclient VertTwoFingerScroll=0
$ xinput set-button-map 7 1 2 3 1 3 2

The output of synclient is:

An update

Due to school application requirements (Gwyddion - currently porting myself and working, and GSAS-II, and VirtualBox/jails), I had to move back to FreeBSD. Sadly I had to watch the wireless go away until FreeBSD 11 release. However the mouse works just fine. So I assume this would be fixed in an upcoming release of OpenBSD 5.8 seeing as a few developers are working the x250.

One thing to note, OpenBSD out of the box experience was very nice, lean and clean! Coming back to FreeBSD was a little cumbersome with the wireless, but having jails and pkgng was nice.

I would like to see a bigger push for BSD's in the scientific community -- which I will try and help out with, as best as I can.
