Hmm, I just tried mouse.sys (10.163) and though the middle button
doesn't
cause the pointer to shoot to the side like Amouse does, it doesn't

either, even with scrolling enabled in the settings.  I know I had the trackpoint scrolling working on the T42p, I just don't remember what I
had
to do.
Mouse object -> Scrolling tab -> I have selected 'Scrolling' &
'Press Center Button'.
Same here, but no scrolling.   It does work if I disable the touchpad in the BIOS, but then stupid SUSE won't boot.  From what I gather from searching google I might be able to fix the linux eror by editing the etc/X11/xorg.conf file but I can't figure out how to use vim.  How can people stand linux?  Its so freaking hard to do anything.

:-)

Try logging in as root (or from a terminal, sux) and use kate or kWrite to edit the file. The GUI is a bit more intuitive than vi or vim, if you're not accustomed to using it/them.

Thanks Lewis.  I only tried it from the terminal as that was the instructions I found via google and that used "kate", but that was not found.  That was when I tried "edit" which started vim.  Must have been designed by the same people that developed edlin.  I will try to find a logon to login as root.  Then I should be able to see xorg.conf.
