Just wanted to thank for this feature. I installed xorg-x11-drv-libinput
two days ago and middle button track point scrolling works like a charm.
My life is much better now ;)

>
> Change owner(s): Hans de Goede <hdego...@redhat.com>
>
> Replace the current (low-level) input xorg drivers with libinput using the 
> xorg-x11-drv-libinput wrapper. 
>
> == Detailed Description ==
> Currently xorg uses different input drivers depending on the device type. 
> This 
> makes it impossible to do things like middle button scrolling on the 
> trackpoint on laptops where the trackpoint buttons are software-emulated 
> buttons on the touchpad. Besides this the xf86-input-synaptics driver was 
> never really designed for multi-touch touchpads and this causes various 
> issues.
>
> For Wayland we've been working on a new improved input stack, which is to be 
> shared by all compositors and lives inside libinput. We plan to replace the 
> current (low-level) input xorg drivers with libinput using the xorg-x11-drv-
> libinput wrapper. 
>
> == Scope ==
> Besides xorg changes, this will also require changes to the control panel 
> applets for mouse / touchpad configuration in the various desktop 
> environments, 
> as those all are hardcoded to use the xorg-x11-drv-synaptics specific 
> interfaces.
>
> * Proposal owners:
> Package libinput and xorg-drv-input-libinput (done), make sure that xorg-drv-
> input-libinput has the necessary config interfaces for control panel 
> mouse/touchpad config applets (wip). Write patches for gnome-control-center 
> mouse/touchpad capplet. Coordinate with other desktop environments.
>
> * Other developers:
> GNOME: merge the gnome-control-center patches. KDE: limits itself to standard 
> X11 mouse config interfaces, no changes needed. Other Desktop Environments: 
> adjust control-panel code to deal with xorg-x11-drv-libinput, merge these 
> changes.

> * Release engineering: N/A
> * Policies and guidelines: N/A
