Comment 30 for bug 489830

Regarding the duplicate #508754 I managed to get the scroll wheel emulation working with Maverick final on Thinkpad T61p over suspend/resume cycle by creating a file /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-thinkpad.conf with the following content.

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "Trackpoint Wheel Emulation"
    MatchProduct "TrackPoint"
    MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
    Driver "evdev"
    Option "EmulateWheel" "true"
    Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
    Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false"
    Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7"
    Option "YAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

Restart of X-server is required for the changes to take effect. The workaround is based on the one found at http://psung.blogspot.com/2010/04/thinkpad-trackpoint-scrolling-in-ubuntu.html with a slight change to the location of the file (/usr/share instead of /usr/lib).

I hope someone finds this useful, while waiting for the final fix.
