Trackpoint Scrolling in Linux

Is it possible enable scrolling using the Trackpoint in Linux? What I mean is: in Windows you press the middle button, then the cursor changes and by using the red stick you can scroll the current window.
I was trying out Suse Live 9.1 and I could use the Trackpoint as mouse without problem but scrolling didn't work.
Thanks,
Claus

Yes, in theory, but I couldn't get it to work yet, for some reason.
A driver is at:

Did you try to use /dev/input/mice instead of /dev/mouse when starting tp-scroll?
That did it for me at least (FC2)

This is the relevant section from my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file (Fedora Core2) and the trackpoint scroll feature works like a charm without the tp-scroll script or anything else. Only catch is you have to disable the touchpad in the BIOS for this to work. Not sure why though.
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "EmulateWheel" "yes"
Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"

This works for me (Xorg 6.8.0 AND Xfree 4.3.0):
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
#Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on"
#Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50"
Option "EmulateWheel" "on"
Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
Option "YAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "1"
EndSection
i recently installed the Synaptics driver and used:
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "synaptics"
Identifier "Touchpad"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "LeftEdge" "1700"
Option "RightEdge" "5400"
Option "BottomEdge" "4200"
Option "TopEdge" "1700"
Option "FingerLow" "25"
Option "FingerHigh" "30"
Option "MaxTapTime" "180"
Option "MaxTapMove" "220"
Option "VertScrollDelta" "100"
Option "MinSpeed" "0.06"
Option "MaxSpeed" "0.12"
Option "AccelFactor" "0.0010"
#Option "Repeater" "/dev/mouse"
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
which also works like a charm... now i can scroll with my Trackpoint when pressing the blue (middle) button and also by dragging across the edges of the touch pad...
