I found an alternate solution using the Xorg hotplug also at thinkwiki:
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_co … org.conf.d

As root I created the file '/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-thinkpad.conf' and put the following in:

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier    "Trackpoint Wheel Emulation"
    MatchProduct    "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint"
    MatchDevicePath    "/dev/input/event*"
    Option        "EmulateWheel"        "true"
    Option        "EmulateWheelButton"    "2"
    Option        "Emulate3Buttons"    "false"
    Option        "XAxisMapping"        "6 7"
    Option        "YAxisMapping"        "4 5"
EndSection

Worked on reboot just fine.

[edit] Works after waking from sleep as well - I think this will be an elegant solution for thinkpad users. BTW this is on a ThinkPad X60s, docked or undocked.
