Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg

My hardware is a Thinkpad R61i with the touchpad disabled in bios
settings so that the trackpoint is the primary pointer device.

I had middle-button scrolling working in Hardy after following the
instructions at
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_configure_the_TrackPoint on
modifying your xorg.conf. On upgrading to Intrepid this stopped working.
I found that the mouse section I had added had been commented out, but
uncommenting it did not restore the middle-button scroll.

What ought to happen, of course, is that the trackpoint should be
configured correctly automatically without user intervention. Failing
that, there should be a way to fix this simply from the GUI. As an
absolute last resort, there should be some simple instructions somewhere
on how to make sure that changes you make to xorg.conf in the current
version of X11 are not ignored.
