Yes, I'm a bit baffled here, reading other posts - I can't tell if
others who use the middle trackpoint button as a middle-click (which
is what I really want, not a scroll) have the touchpad enabled.  If
they do, then I'm stumped, because it won't work for me.

Josh, /etc/X11/xorg.conf may be handy - just send to me privately
unless anyone else expressed an interested on-list - thanks.

It's my fuddled mind maybe, but could anyone else definitely confirm
that yes, they have the touchpad enabled (if their thinkpad has one),
and that yes, the trackpoint middle-click button above it works as
well?
