[SOLVED] Thinkpad T400 Trackpoint

Hey,

I have a problem with my Trackpoint. I can not scroll with it when holding the middle mouse button. Two hours ago in Xubuntu 12.04 it works just fine.
After I installed the packet xf86-input-synaptics it works for 4 Minutes and than stopped working without a reason.
As suggested here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Le … nkPad_T400 I created the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-trackpoint.conf with the following content:

Section "InputDevice"
 Identifier  "Trackpoint"
 Driver      "mouse"
 Option "CorePointer"
 Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
 Option "Protocol" "Auto"
 Option "Emulate3Buttons"
 Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50"
 Option "EmulateWheel" "on"
 Option "EmulateWheelTimeout" "200" # adjust third button paste timeout.
 Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
 Option "YAxisMapping" "4 5"
 Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7"
 Option "YAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

but it does still not work. Any suggestions? I miss this function already :-/

I solved the problem by using the Script proposed by David Batson in this Thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=171309
