How do I get the trackpoint going in the right direction. Even when I turn off "Natural scrolling" it still doesn't behave normally.

@camsn0w Sorry I just saw the comment now. I am not sure what still does not behave normally mean? Can you clarify? If you have trouble getting the mouse to move the right direction, it might be a hardware issue. I had to get my keyboard and mouse replaced to get the trackpoint not misbehaving. You are in luck if you are in warranty, they should be able to replace without charge.
