as every guy using unix/linux know about that X.Org is an open source implementation of the X Window System.with that you can run gnome, KDE, or others X desktop environment.

if you have a thinkpad, you also know that the thinkpad track-scroll button(some body call it tp-scroll button) is a very magical button, and with it you can scroll the content of window very easy. in windows the driver is supplied by IBM(now lenovo), but what about in X under *nix?

i got a tip to make the button work in Xorg yesterday evening: add the following lines to mouse section of your Xorg configuration file xorg.conf:
Option “EmulateWheel” “true”
Option “EmulateWheelButton” “2″
Option “YAxisMapping” “4 5″

by the way supply my configuration file(thinkpad T23), although some hardwares and font paths are different from yours.
