Big thanks to Warwick Chapman for his solution.
Create the file /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-thinkpad.conf as root with the following content:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Trackpoint Wheel Emulation"
MatchProduct "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint|DualPoint Stick|Synaptics Inc. Composite TouchPad / TrackPoint|ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Option "EmulateWheel" "true"
Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false"
Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7"
Option "YAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Restart X/Ubuntu
Categories: Technology
Lenovo, ThinkPad, Trackpoint, Ubuntu





How to do you the difference – MatchProduct “TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint|DualPoint Stick|Synaptics Inc. Composite TouchPad / TrackPoint|ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint”?
I found two solutions on two different blogs. The solution I linked to in my post worked for me.
The link below has another, similar solution that is working for some.
