Thinkpad TrackPoint Scrolling in Ubuntu (Maverick) 10.10 - IBM T60

My fellow citizens, our long national nightmare of having to use bad pointing devices is over.

Starting with Ubuntu Maverick/10.10, configuring scrolling with the middle button and the TrackPoint is now really easy:

• Install gpointing-device-settings (sudo aptitude install gpointing-device-settings)
• Run gpointing-device-settings &, enable the Use wheel emulation using button 2, and enable both vertical and horizontal scrolling.
  
  

(gpointing-device-settings is not new but Maverick is the first time it has really worked well for me.)
