(Get the code!)
There is another way of getting trackpoint to work, at least for ThinkPad users), which is to open konsole and run:
xinput set-prop '"TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint"' "Evdev Wheel Emulation" 1
xinput set-prop '"TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint"' "Evdev Wheel Emulation Button" 2
xinput set-prop '"TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint"' "Evdev Wheel Emulation Timeout" 200
for vertical scrolling. Add the following as well if you want horizontal scrolling:
xinput set-prop '"TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint"' "Evdev Wheel Emulation Axes" 6 7 4 5
You will need to run this every time you restart your computer but if you can add it to a script and add it to ~/.kde/Autostart (in Kubuntu) so it will run automatically everytime you log in to KDE.
