Hi Jon, here a log of my recent tests. The most interesting point is the last. 1. I modified file C:\Program Files\Synaptics\SynTP\TP4table.dat according to new FAQ and reboot PC. -> No change of behaviour. 2. Download XWin.20120129-git-45e67e363e19a481.exe.bz2. /bin/startxwin -- /bin/XWin.20120129-git-45e67e363e19a481.exe -logverbose 3 -clipboard -emulate3buttons 100 -nounixkill -nowinkill -xkboptions nbsp:level3 -> Doesn't start. Error message on the console is: giving up. /bin/startxwin: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server /bin/startxwin: No such process (errno 3): Server error. -> No output at all to file /var/log/xwin/XWin.0.log. 3. I took above startxwin command line and replace XWin.20120129-git-45e67e363e19a481.exe by XWin.20110803-git-a493c0465e56ce0b.exe -> Immediately starts. All further tests with (old) XWin.20110803-git-a493c0465e56ce0b.exe. 4. Today I couldn't get to the broken, jumpy behaviour by scrolling a Windows dialog. So this is not the breaking condition as I previously meant. But after some time, the scrolling behaviour breaks and xterm scrolls in jumpy way. Sorry, I have no glue what's the condition that breaks it. After reboot of PC it scrolls fine. Any work of 1 minute or so seems to break smooth scrolling. 5. Then I started ico. -> While ico runs, xterm scrolls fine and smooth. As soon as I stop ico, xterm scrolls jumpy. -> Pressing the trackpoint button has no effect to ico. It keeps painting fine eather way. 6. I started ico with -sleep 1 ico -sleep 1 I constantly hold the trackpoint button down and scroll the xterm. -> I observe jump scrolling movements every second, one jump each second. xterm jump scrolls exactly at the time when ico refreshes 7. close ico, start xpdf -> xpdf and xterm both have broken = jumpy scroll 8. start ico -> both xpdf and xterm both scroll fine and smooth 9. stop ico, start ico -sleep 1 -> ico -sleep 1 starts, but doesn't paint anything. I do several tests. -> ico without sleep option starts fine. close xpdf -> ico -sleep 1 starts, but doesn't paint anything. I do several tests. -> ico without sleep option starts fine. -> ico -sleep 1 starts and repaints in 1 second rhythm. Fine. => an open xpdf seems to break "ico -sleep 1", and "ico -sleep 1" can be repaired by closing xpdf and then once running "ico" without options. Very weird. > > > > 2.

[...] Hi Jon, this problem still exists, it makes the Lenovo trackpoint unusable with xterm. Some months ago you provided me XWin.20120129-git-45e67e363e19a481.exe, but it didn't run on my computer. Yesterday I have upgraded my Cygwin, all packages to current (Cygwin 1.7.15). Maybe a debugging .exe would run now on my machine. If you want me to try again, please let me know.
