No, basically I'd like to _enable_ it and the webpage mentioned at the 
beginning of the thread reads 
(http://thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_configure_the_TrackPoint):

Scroll emulation should now be handled in the X server. First do:

  # echo -n 0 > 
  # /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio0/serio2/middle_btn_disable 

    Then, for versions of Xorg since ~Oct '04, add these lines to your 
    TrackPoint configuration section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

      Option          "EmulateWheel"          "on"
      Option          "EmulateWheelButton"    "2"

Should the wiki be updated ?
