    Hello guys,

    has anyone succeeded in enabling the scrolling function using the emulated middle button? I've read many threads regarding the topic so far and based on various sources successfully enabled the middle and right click functionality. However, using the middle button with the Trackpoint does not result in scrolling functionality, as is the case with Windows-based touchpad drivers.

    Here's the relevant config snippet taken from my /usr/share/X11/xorg.config/50-synaptics.conf file:
    Code: 
    # This option enables the upper right corner to be a right button on
# non-synaptics clickpads.
# This option is only interpreted by clickpads.
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Default clickpad buttons"
MatchDriver "synaptics"
Option "AreaTopEdge" "2600"
Option "SoftButtonAreas" "65% 0 0 2300 35% 65% 0 2300"
EndSection
    Anyone got hints for further improvements?
