[ltp] T30 Linux 2.6.0 Trackpoint

[Frank Schaeckermann]

Andy,
are you aware, that the Trackpoint has the functionality of emulating a 
button if it is pressed down? Maybe the new kernel allows you to 
configure that particular feature of the Trackpoint as well and is by 
default mapped to something, that does a Paste on your ThinkPad!

If I remember right, you said, that the pasting wouldn't happen all the 
time but only occasionally... may be only, if you press the Trackpoint 
down with enough force to activate this 'button'?!?
