As you can see in the bug report attachments its an HP 2540p which comes
with a trackpoint + extra mouse buttons. But the trackpoint is
registered as simple generic mouse unlike Lenovos trackpoint.
1. No it does not work in any GNOME or KDE application.
2. Yes, it did work for unity in the 11.04 release and still does for
any other window manager right now. It also worked in unity 11.10 with
the first alpha.
3. Yes, as you can see in the bug report itself I added the .conf file
to /usr/share/
after it was removed as default.
Also note that I submitted this bug against xserver-
#816331 and it seemed fixed at that point and still is for other window
managers. Now as I gave unity another try I found it still corrupt here.
