I've just installed Lubuntu 18.04.1 LTS on my Lenovo Thinkpad T400.

Under Windows, I've configured the Trackpoint to work as a scrollwheel, think scroll-stick instead of scroll-wheel.

Everything I've found so far was enabling the hold-middle to scroll feature. That worked right out of the box.

 

So, how do I configure my system to invert that feature?

I basically want this:

Middle Trackpoint button not held down => Trackpoint scrolls

Middle Trackpoint button held down => Trackpoint moves Cursor

 

And yes, I know there's a scrolling area on the Trackpad, but I prefer the Trackpoint for scrolling.

Especially if you got used to zoom on Trackpad-Scroll and pan on trackpoint scroll.

Have you checked the BIOS? My Lenovo Flex 3 & my T420 have some FN-key related settings in their BIOS. Maybe there's something to invert it in there?

I've checked it in the BIOS - no settings related to the trackpoint function
