Well, the scrolling on a T3x is made by holding down the middle (blue)
mouse button and scroll with the stick.
IBM's scrolling idea is probably a good idea in windows since the middle
button has no function there, but in the X window system it doesn't really
fit. I'd rather not emulate the middlebutton just to get the scrolling to
work. To scroll with the middle button and the stick is almost like
dragging the scrollbar, so there is no gain in doing that.
Why not use the pressure sensitivity of the stick to emulate the wheel?
That would be nice, just pressing the stick a little harder and 'voila' we
have both a scrollwheel emulation and a middle button.
