Disable midclick. (Thinkpad trackpoint)

Some thing that's bugging me is when I've configured med trackpoint to scroll when I hold down the middle mousebutton is that the middlemousebutton still executes commands. So I want to disable the middlemousebutton and only use it for scrolling with the trackpoint. Like in windows.

Disable "Emulate3Buttons", wherever you configured it. Either in xorg.conf or hal fdi.

Edit: How did you configure it? I just like the double function so I can scroll and have a third button in one.

Re: Disable midclick. (Thinkpad trackpoint)

Used Xorg.conf to make it scroll.
But I haven't really got it to disable the middleklick.

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "PS/2 Mouse"
    Driver      "mouse"
    Option      "Protocol" "auto"
    Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
    Option      "Device" "/dev/psaux"
#    Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
#    Option      "Emulate3Timeout" "70"
#    Option        "SendCoreEvents"  "true"
#                    Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "on"
 #       Option      "Emulate3TimeOut" "50"
        Option      "EmulateWheel" "on"
#        Option      "EmulateWheelTimeOut" "200"
        Option      "Buttons" "2"
        Option      "EmulateWheelButton" "6"
        Option      "ButtonMapping" "1 6 3"
        Option      "YAxisMapping" "4 5"
        Option      "XAxisMapping" "6 7"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

This is my "beautyful" solution. But it seems to be working just like I wanted to.
