I need a hand here. I've tried various wiki's, but their steps aren't making this work. I need to setup the TrackPoint's middle button to function as a virtual mouse wheel (holding down the center button while moving up or down scrolls). Can someone with a working "mouse wheel" post their xorg.conf file? It should be in /etc/X11/. Thanks.

On my T60 running Fedora, that just works. There's nothing in the config file for it. Firefox needed me to set an option but I don't remember the name of it right now.
