There is another way of getting trackpoint to work, at least for
ThinkPad users), which is to open konsole and run:

xinput set-prop '"TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint"' "Evdev Wheel Emulation" 1
xinput set-prop '"TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint"' "Evdev Wheel Emulation Button" 2
xinput set-prop '"TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint"' "Evdev Wheel Emulation Timeout" 200

for vertical scrolling. Add the following as well if you want horizontal
scrolling:

xinput set-prop '"TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint"' "Evdev Wheel Emulation Axes" 6
7 4 5

You will need to run this every time you restart your computer but if
you can add it to a script and add it to ~/.kde/Autostart (in Kubuntu)
so it will run automatically everytime you log in to KDE.
