    This is my first thinkpad and trackpoint notebook.
    I am getting comfortable using it. however, ubuntu does not seem to offer "middle mouse button" like vista. If i press middle button in vista, it allows me scroll web sites by moving track point direction.

    is there a way scroll web easier?
    how can I set push trackpoint down equals to left click?


    I also want to thank those who helped me earlier.
    my X61s have no problem with wireless, sound and video card :)
    Im going to try parallel workstation now.
