    hi, i've just bought my thinkpad edge 13 and i've installed ubuntu on it (so i've a dual boot ubuntu/7)

    i've installed gpointer-device-settings to configure the trackpoint and configured it to have my middle trackpoint mouse behaving like a middle mouse if i press it for a short time, and like the UltraNav standard scrolling if i hold it longer

    i like this behaviour and i was wondering if there's some software for windows that lets me configure the middle mouse to do this

    ps: i don't like the UltraNav "smooth" scrolling

    If you download the lenovo ultranav drivers, theres a setting for press-to-select, but I believe you can only set it as left or right click, I don't think theres an option for middle click. I'm not positive however.

    well, i can't find the option "press-to-select"

    i mean, i can't find anything that could be translated "press-to-select" as my system language is italian

    here is my ultranav settings screen:

    i think it's the same for every language, maybe you can tell me what's the option by comparing my screenshot with your settings window?

    Need third party software to do it. There's two threads w/programs on the forum about it, one was written using the actual API from synaptics I think and the other I wrote using Autohotkey
