How to enable natural scrolling for a trackpoint on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS? There are many questions and answers to this, for instance 1, 2, 3. They are outdated and do not work for me. For instance, 1 suggests to do
$ xinput set-prop "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" "libinput Natural Scrolling Enabled" 1
However, I do not have such the device TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint nor anything similar.
The command xinput list outputs:
WARNING: running xinput against an Xwayland server. See the xinput man page for details.
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ xwayland-pointer:16 id=6 [slave pointer (2)]

⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ xwayland-keyboard:16 id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
I tried to set this property for device with ID=6, but it errored property 'libinput Natural Scrolling Enabled' doesn't exist, you need to specify its type and format.
I also tried to modify /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf and update the lines as documented in 4:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "libinput pointer catchall"
MatchIsPointer "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "libinput"
Option "NaturalScrolling" "True" # does not work
EndSection
and then restart, but to no avail. (replacing "True" to "true", "1", 1 did not help).
Suggestions?
