The mouse config tool is missing most of the important things I actually need for mouse configuration, I have to resort to using xinput and /sys/devices/ to achieve them. I think the missing features include:

1. Need to be able to activate/deactivate touchpad vs trackpoint.
2. Need to be able to enable emulated (middle-button) scroll. (cf gpointing-device-settings)
3. Need to be able to control the underlying trackpoint sensitivity to turn up the "gain"; this is usually controlled by:
    /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio*/serio*/sensitivity
4. The ability to configure multiple mice differently. For example, one might use a pointing-stick  to enable quick, coarse movements (with mouse acceleration) when operating a text-editor, but use an external optical mouse (with max precision) for CAD.

Reproducible: Didn't try



Expected Results:  
Something like this, but without needing to write a shell-script!

THE_ID=$(xinput list | grep "Synaptics Inc. Composite TouchPad / TrackPoint" | grep -oE 'id=[0-9]+' | tail -n 1  | cut -f 2 -d '=' )
xinput set-int-prop $THE_ID "Evdev Wheel Emulation" 8 1
xinput set-int-prop $THE_ID "Evdev Wheel Emulation Button" 8 2
xinput set-prop $THE_ID "Device Accel Velocity Scaling" 100
