Laptop touchpad button scrolling problem

I have an Acer Aspire 5715z, and i am useing the latest updates with LXDE. My problem is that there is a third button below my touchpad for scrolling. If i press it, it scrolls one "unit" down, but if i keep it pushing, no more scroll. I just want to make the scrolling continuos, while i keep the button pushed.

xbindkeys output:
Up:
"NoCommand"
    m:0x2800 + b:4   (mouse)
Down:
"NoCommand"
    m:0x3000 + b:5   (mouse)
xev output
Up:
ButtonPress event, serial 43, synthetic NO, window 0x2e00001,
    root 0xac, subw 0x0, time 1399791, (119,81), root:(184,390),
    state 0x2000, button 4, same_screen YES

ButtonRelease event, serial 43, synthetic NO, window 0x2e00001,
    root 0xac, subw 0x0, time 1399951, (119,81), root:(184,390),
    state 0x2800, button 4, same_screen YES
Down:
ButtonPress event, serial 43, synthetic NO, window 0x2e00001,
    root 0xac, subw 0x0, time 1455033, (126,103), root:(191,412),
    state 0x2000, button 5, same_screen YES

ButtonRelease event, serial 43, synthetic NO, window 0x2e00001,
    root 0xac, subw 0x0, time 1455183, (126,103), root:(191,412),
    state 0x3000, button 5, same_screen YES

Thanks for the help!

Re: Laptop touchpad button scrolling problem

Perhaps using xinput would work as it does with the ThinkPad TrackPoint { xorg-xinput needs to be installed }.
