To use the blue middle TrackPoint button as a scroll wheel (using the red TrackPoint itself to scroll up and down), do the following. In a terminal, enter these commands:
sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-original
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
In the editor, find the section headed Section “InputDevice” / Identifier “Configured Mouse” and add the following lines above the “EndSection” line:
Option "EmulateWheel" "true"
Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
Save the file. Logout, restart X with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, and log in again.
