Middle Button Trackpoint Scrolling on Thinkpad X60 Tablet with Jaunty

Strangely, this information wasn’t easy to find because the same .fdi script that worked on my X200 didn’t work on the X60. Most likely was the wrong product info attribute in the fdi file (lshal | grep IBM on the X60T gives me this -> info.product = ‘TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint’)

Anyway, found the correct directive here:
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_configure_the_TrackPoint#vertical_scrolling

<match key="info.product" string="TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint">
 <merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheel" type="string">true</merge>
 <merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheelButton" type="string">2</merge>
 <merge key="input.x11_options.YAxisMapping" type="string">4 5</merge>
 <merge key="input.x11_options.XAxisMapping" type="string">6 7</merge>
 <merge key="input.x11_options.Emulate3Buttons" type="string">true</merge>
 <merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheelTimeout" type="string">200</merge>
</match>

Strangely, apparently this fdi directive doesn’t work on the X61T, and something needs to be changed.
