This is the protocol to use tp-scroll, for those who do not know 
tpscroll emulates the scroll wheel by moving the track point while 
pressing the central button (as it is possible to do under WinXP). The 
scroll wheel worked with the setting that I have commentd out. With 
tp-scroll the behaviour of the external usb mouse became the same as the 
track-point: if I press the central button and move the mouse vertically 
it emulates the scroll wheel, but unfortunately the scroll wheel on the 
mouse stopped working. So to precise my question, I'd like to know
whether:
- it is possible to modify the configuration above so that the track 
point still emulates the scroll wheel but the scroll wheel of an 
external mouse does not stop working OR
- it is possible to have two different configurations for mouse in X one 
for the track point (with scroll wheel emulation) the other for a 
_possible_ external USB mouse, with the old standard settings.

Thanks a lot
