Default IBM Thinkpad - Trackpoint and middle button scrolling in firefox

has anybody managed to get this working, found loads of info for linux stuff, nothing for XP

basically, you hold the middle button down and use the trackpoint to scroll up and down webpages

works fine in IE

can not get it to work in firefox

you installed both the trackpoint and ultranav? does it work on IE or word?

goto Lenovo Support & downloads - Home page to detect your model and drivers.
