Well, since xorg 7.4 and it's input-hotplugging goodness the 
InputDevices-sections of the xorg.conf-file do not have any effect on your 
input-hardware. Instead, evdev does this using the hal's fdi-configfiles 
located in /etc/hal/fdi . Unfortunately, the shipped evdev-version is too old 
making you have to get the newest. Fortunately, there is a launchpad repo 
serving this deb. Just add a new file to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ called 
evdev.list (or whatever you like) und put in the following line:
 deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mvo/ubuntu intrepid main
After an aptitude update and dist-upgrade you should have the newest 
evdev-version. Combined with the new fdi-file mentioned by Michael Fritscher 
above the scrolling-feature should work again. Don't forget to make sure that 
the string-value of the first match-tag (where key="info.product") is correct. 
You can check that using "dmesg | input". Watch out for a line that looks like 
this: input: TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint as /class/input/input7

that's it! Now it should work :).
cheers
