		+
		+	* reenable the middle button for pasting
		+	* stop the pad from thinking that it is a mouse button. args.
		+
		+	Any hints? I know how to do this with xorg, but i cannot find the option in the sys configuration.

 The scroll support was buggy. It is now done through the Xorg input driver, so there's no need to support it anymore.

 I removed all the configuration instructions from this page and created [[How to configure the TrackPoint]] from it. (Actually that page should be extended to tell about tp4d configuration as well.) Doing so, i also cleaned up some of the outdated information on this page.

 So there isn't any way to use the trackpoint button 2 to paste ... This is really annoying, I used this button a lot while coding.
 Do we have to wait for the option EmulateWheelTimeout to be implemented or is there any workaround ?

	Elsewhere on the linked-to-blog ( http://stephen.evanchik.com/index.cgi/2005/01/index.html ), there is mention of a 2.6.11 patch. It's for 2.6.11-rc2, but should be worth a try. There're even newer patches here ( http://people.clarkson.edu/~evanchsa/software/kernel/patches/ ).
