Lenovo trackpoint scrolling events get buffered somewhere until I release the

then I get hundreds of scrolling events all at once.
I can clearly see these events in xev.
Result is that I don't really experience scrolling, rather jumping up and down
with a random-like distance.
With trackpoint I mean that red button in the middle of a Lenovo laptop.
(Mouse wheel scrolling works perfect, in contrast.)
Have you tried the workaround given in [1] ?
According to the internet, the trackpoint driver tries to be too clever and
doesn't send WM_MOUSEWHEEL messages, but tries to fiddle with the Windows
scrollbars directly itself, which obviously isn't going to work well for an X
window :S

I can't find any of the files tp4*.dat on my PC (I'm running Windows 7) - see
console output below.
It seems that FAQ might need a little updating, that file might found under
%PROGRAMFILES% now, C:\Program Files\Synaptics\SynTP\TP4table.dat or
C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Trackpoint\tp4table.dat for example.
I've done this with mintty on my machine as follows:

I assume the line for X apps would be the similar. Note that you have to
put the same line in TP4table.dat, then kill and restart all the TP*
processes. One of them (sorry, can't remember which) is the "parent"
process and will start the others if it sees they're missing.
Good luck!
