Sorry, I don't use ubuntu (directly) anymore.  The requirement for running
compiz made it impossible to suspend/resume consistently day after day (it
would usually fail withing a day or 2), so was unusable for me (having it
close all my apps and exit to the login screen was totally unacceptable).
 I now use a chromebook with a crouton chroot to get the first acceptable
3d-accelerated linux I've ever used (and I've used both nvidia and amd over
the years).

Title:
  trackpoint middle clicks are often lost

Status in “xserver-xorg-input-evdev” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The change in bug #554984 (enabling trackpoint scrolling by default)
  has made middle-clicking very flaky in oneiric.  I am using the latest
  updates of oneiric in a new install.  My computer is a Lenovo T510,
  but since the issue is caused by a new setting in 11-evdev-
  trackpoint.conf, that shouldn't be relevant.

  For me, middle-clicking is used all the time (opening browser links,
  closing tabs, pasting text), and having events silently get ignored is
  very annoying.  The driver often gets in a state where it takes
  something like 4 middle-clicks for an event to be noticed.  I would
  imagine that the scroll-event logic either has a state-machine bug
  (since I wasn't touching the "nub") or it needs a higher threshold for
  movement before it kicks in and disables the middle click event.

  I tried using gpointing-device-settings to disable trackpoint
  scrolling, but the effect was only temporary -- a reboot enabled it
  again, at which point the checkbox in gpointing-device-settings is out
  of sync with reality.

  I have worked around the issue by changing the settings in
  /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/11-evdev-trackpoint.conf to disable the
  EmulateWheel setting (and disable Emulate3Buttons too, since there are
  3 buttons).

  Hopefully the underlying issue can be fixed so that someone can both
  middle-click consistently and also use that button for trackpoint
  scrolling.
