Trackpoint scrolling under Gutsy

I'm having some problems getting my middle button trackpoint scrolling to work. I've been looking at this guide on Thinkwiki for kernel 2.6.11+. Since my kernel version is 2.6.24 I think this is the closest I'll get for my version.

After examining my xorg.conf I noticed that the trackpoint isn't listed as a device. The guide calls for adding lines that emulate wheel to the but only my keyboard, touchpad, and mouse are listed. Heres my xorg

PHP:

I did search the ubuntu forums but most of the fixes also deal with adding lines to the xorg trackpoint part.

Did they somehow merge the mouse and trackpoint together under xorg in the newest versions?

 

Have you tried adding under Input device --> configured mouse the following lines:

Option "EmulateWheel" "true"
Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"

 

Thanks, it worked!

I kinda wish the documentation would of been clearer, oh well.
