Yes, the xorg in unstable started dropping hal dependency so the .fdi
way is gone (the xorg.conf way was gone some time ago). At the moment
I'm using the xinput way. Currently done manually, but I've added to my
.xsessionrc:

xinput set-int-prop '"TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint"' "Evdev Wheel Emulation
Button" 8 2
xinput set-int-prop '"TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint"' "Evdev Wheel Emulation" 8 1
xinput set-int-prop '"TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint"' "Evdev Wheel Emulation
Timeout" 16 200

which should work. If I have some more info on how to configure that
more statically, I'll let you know.
