Bug Description
Binary package hint: gpointing-
On a thinkpad, after installing and setting up the middle button of the trackpoint for wheel-emulation the settings are ignored after rebooting the computer and there is no wheel emulation. To re-enable the wheel emulation I have:
1. Disable wheel emulation and save settings.
2. Re-enable wheel emulation for a different button (1 or 3) and save settings.
3. Change button settings to button 2 and save settings.
This happens every time I reboot the computer.
At the moment the trackpoint shows as PS/2 Generic Mouse as per bug 492729.

I'm having a similar problem but with touchpad settings. I have Lucid installed on two different laptops with two different types of touchpad. They are Toshiba Satellite A10 with an Alps Glidepoint touchpad and EeePC 900 with a Synaptics Elantech touchpad.
I like to turn off tap-to-click, because I find it more trouble than it's worth. I can do this by using gpointing- device- settings, but the original state reoccurs after rebooting.
