The device is recognized as "ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input5" instead of a touchpad; at least since Linux 3.0 (and up to 3.2-rc2). As one result, middle mouse button emulation doesn't work. IIRC, evdev disabled it for non-touchpad inputs a while ago. Is there a way to have the device recognized correctly as a touchpad (as it used to be a few versions earlier, unfortunately I can't remember which versions worked).
