Bug Description
I have a T450s that has the physical buttons.
I have installed ubuntu 14.04.
The physical buttons behave thus:
left button scrolls up
right button scrolls down
middle button does nothing.
I would like to configure this buttons to be
left button: left click
right button: right click
middle button: middle click

Had the same problem (albeit with a Gentoo installation, but that shouldn't make much of a difference), and found this workaround: vimtips. org/2015/ 02/20/ubuntu- 1410-and- lenovo- thinkpad- x250/

You can solve it by forcing the IMPS protocol for your pointer devices, but you lose multi-touch features in the process. So you add
psmouse.proto=imps
to the kernel command line (if the psmouse driver is built as a module, you should be able to handle this by an entry in /etc/modprobe.d/ instead) and create a file '/etc/X11/ xorg.conf. d/33-input. conf':
