Hi,

I have a keyboard with built-in pointing stick (like IBM trackpoint).
It shows up like a standard USB mouse. Problem is: it moves to the
right at a rate about 6x faster than it moves to the left... For
example I can move the mouse cursor from left to right in 1 second,
but from right to left it takes 6 seconds to cross the screen.

Is there a way to calibrate the mouse in Xorg so that the directions
will move at the same rate? Perhaps it's a physical defect and I need
to take apart the keyboard, but if I can compensate somehow that would
be great.

I looked in the Xorg mouse settings, but the only sensitivity options
seem to be global and not directional.

Thanks,
Paul
