Confirmed that the instructions from comment 36 work, using the patch
from comment 27, on amd64, x200. I modified the steps by removing the
explicit autogen, make, make install, and instead doing a debian/rules
binary to create a deb.

Then I then saw the same issue that Aurimas reported (HAL policy not
working, but xinput lines working); worked around that by adding the
following lines to .profile (ugh):

# FIX FOR BROKEN EVDEV/HAL for TrackPoint scrolling:
xinput set-int-prop "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" "Wheel Emulation" 8 1
xinput set-int-prop "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" "Wheel Emulation Button" 8 2
xinput set-int-prop "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" "Wheel Emulation Y Axis" 8 4 5

I consider this preferable to removing and re-adding modules (by pure
superstition :). This forms the basis of new documentation added to
thinkwiki here:

If anyone would like to change/improve/correct, please have at it.
Thanks everyone!
