Dear Boris,

You probably want this:
http://www-hft.ee.tu-berlin.de/~strauman/tp4utils/.

Sadly, it doesn't give you 3rd button scroll (and explains why this 
cannot be done). However, it does do other things, most usefully, it 
makes the TP more sensitive, and gives you "press to select" if you want it.

I also miss the middle-scroll, although after a while, I got used to it!
The standard linux mouse behaviour of "select -> autocopy; middle button 
-> paste" is a worthy succesor. Also, there are ways to scroll on the 
keyboard. Or, you could install an external wheel mouse.

Sorry if that wasn't quite what you wanted to hear!

Richard
