Bug Description

Description:
The tracking dot (Lenovo/IBM red mouse knob) has three keys between the red knob and the tracking pad. They are left click, middle mouse button and right click. Due to the key map issue the tracking dot is a hassle to use. The tracking pad is worth mentioning that it works as intended.

1. 14.10 as of patches from Feb 23/2 2015.

2. No particular package, or I don't know which one handles it.

3. Expected behavior:
Left click = Left click
Middle button = Scroll mode or copy. Context based.
Right click = Right click/Menu

4. Actual behavior:
Left click = Scroll up a couple of lines
Middle button = No effect
Right click = Scroll down a couple of lines.

I think this may be related to the issue.

$ xmodmap -pke | grep -i scroll
... omitted unnecessary hits.
keycode 185 = XF86ScrollUp NoSymbol XF86ScrollUp
keycode 186 = XF86ScrollDown NoSymbol XF86ScrollDown

Also, another note. Running the xev application to see events renders no activity for either of the buttons. They do however scroll up and down in xev's output.
