Middle Button Scrolling broken after update

I updated my thinkpad t41 a few days ago and after restarting discovered that middle button scrolling was no longer working. I had it working before the update with the following fdi file in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/15-mouse-wheel.fdi:

<match key="info.product" string="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.Emulate3Buttons" type="string">true</merge>
 <merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheelTimeout" type="string">200</merge>
</match>

After that didn't work, I also tried changing it to what is mentioned in this wiki article:http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Len … Trackpoint. This however was also ignored. It seems that the system is still treating the middle button as a normal button instead of emulating a wheel as it should. Any idea what could be wrong?
