Thanks for posting this link (and for other posts in this thread that
helped me out). I now have a working centre button (I can paste between
X apps). Additionally, installing the synaptics driver also seems to
have solved a problem I was having where the TrackPoint (nipple) only
worked after a warm reboot. (The TrackPad always worked.)
I guess that's that problem pretty much sorted out, but I'm sure I'll be
back with more later. :)
Thanks again,
Tony
