Yup, they both work at the same time.

Here's my config... (Running kernel 2.6.0-mm2, XFree86 4.3.0, and
synaptics-0.12.2.

I think the trick was to turn on wheel emulation in XFree. See the
"EmulateWheel" and "EmulateWheelButton" lines below...

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier	"trackpoint"
	Driver		"mouse"
	Option		"Device"		"/dev/input/mouse1"
	Option		"Protocol"		"ImPS/2"
	Option		"AlwaysCore"		"true"
	Option		"ZAxisMapping"		"4 5"
# the 3-button emulation doesn't actually work
	Option		"Emulate3Buttons"	"true"
	Option		"EmulateWheel"		"true"
	Option		"EmulateWheelButton"	"2"
EndSection

If that doesn't do the trick, let me know and I'll send the complete
config file.
