I've tried to do this before, and it seems like every individual has a different experience with getting trackpoint scrolling to work. I can't get any of theirs to work. I have an IBM Thinkpad X31 running Arch (I think 2.6.25 kernel, most recent version of X)
here is my /hal/fdi/policy/mouse-wheel.fdi (mostly copied from thinkwiki)
<match key="info.product" string="TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint">
<merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheel" type="string">true</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheelButton" type="string">2</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.YAxisMapping" type="string">4 5</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.XAxisMapping" type="string">6 7</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.ZAxisMapping" type="string">4 5</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.Emulate3Buttons" type="string">true</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheelTimeout" type="string">200</merge>
</match>
here is a list of my daemons in rc.conf:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs dbus slim crond @esd @alsa @wicd @acpid @laptop-mode @hal )
and my modules:
MODULES=(e100 eepro100 mii slhc airo ac97_bus snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm-oss
snd-page-alloc snd-pcm snd-timer snd snd-ac97-codec snd-intel8x0
snd-intel8x0m soundcore acpi-cpufreq thinkpad_acpi cpufreq-ondemand cpufreq-powersave)
if any other information would be useful, just ask me for it. currently dual booting Windows XP and Arch on 60gb hd

Hello, I was just wondering if you installed synaptics since most laptops use synaptic drivers, you can install it with:
pacman -S xf86-input-synaptics
This link is very helpful: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Touchpad_Synaptics
If you already had it and it didn't work I can help you later by checking my policies and compare it with you.

sorry I didn't reply for a while (sort of forgot), but would synaptic configurers help with a trackpoint? I'll try, just incase

not sure what it was, but I got tp scrolling to work.
i have the touchpad synaptics installed
configure-trackpoint installed
an extra two lines in my xorg.conf (under PS2 mouse)
the .fdi file
I think it's the xorg.conf, because that's the most recent addition, but I can't be sure.
