Ha, thanks. It's pity.

I've noticed that, but in case I use WiFi, and disconnect my T23 from dock 
many times it isn't a solution.

Ha, good idea. But the question is: "Why in Windows XP everythink works fine?" 
i.e. "third button scroll" in trackpoint works, and mouse scroll too - in 
traditional way?

Fact. But i've tried also /dev/input/mouse0 /dev/input/mice instead of one 
psaux. The only difference was that in one case third trackpoint button 
and "scroll" worked as hmm... "mark tool" (?) - I mean it marked like Shift + 
cursor.
