Public bug reported:

On a fresh Natty install (running livecd from 4/3/2011) there is no
scrolling support for my Thinkpad x200s.

The x200s has not fingerpad, just the trackpoint and the 3 buttons.
Scrolling is done by holding down the middle button and using the
trackpoint to scroll up/down/left/right.

To support this I used this guide: http://itgen.blogspot.com/2008/12
/installing-arch-linux-on-lenovo.html

Basically, I created a xorg.conf with the contents of:
Section "InputClass"
    Identifier  "Trackpoint Wheel Emulation"
    MatchProduct            "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint|DualPoint Stick|Synaptics 
Inc. Composite TouchPad / TrackPoint|ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint|USB 
Trackpoint pointing device"
    MatchDevicePath         "/dev/input/event*"
    Option              "EmulateWheel"          "true"
    Option              "EmulateWheelButton"    "2"
    Option              "Emulate3Buttons"       "false"
    Option              "XAxisMapping"   "6 7"
    Option              "YAxisMapping"  "4 5"
EndSection

Is there a way to get this kind of support out of the box?
