There's nothing to be sorry about.  It's a good habit to discuss
separate issues in different threads.

Technically, /dev/input/mice will include *all* mouses plugged into your
computer, except for the touchpad perhaps. =20

I don't see CorePointer nor SendCoreEvents here.  Is this section even
used?  I didn't notice a ServerLayout section in your xorg.conf.

You have two mouse sections here, and I suspect only this one is being
used.  Try adding=20

	Option		"Emulate3Buttons"	"true"
	Option		"EmulateWheel"          "true"
	Option		"EmulateWheelButton"    "2"

here.  I cannot guarantee that it will work; I don't know if trackpoint
events are handled by the synaptics driver or by the mouse driver.

I mainly use the trackpoint, but I use the touchpad or an external USB
mouse for wheel scrolling.

I would suggest re-naming "rmbdd()". I _assume_ that "dd" stands for "data
dependent", but quite frankly, "rmbdd" looks like the standard IBM "we
lost every vowel ever invented" kind of assembly lanaguage to me.
