Title:
  Horizontal scrolling on Thinkpad USB Keyboard with Trackpoint

Status in xserver-xorg-input-evdev package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I have a Lenovo ThinkPad Compact USB Keyboard with TrackPoint - this
  is an external USB keyboard with integrated TrackPoint that is based
  on the keyboard from the Thinkpad X230/T430/T530.

  Lenovo part number is: 0B47190

  Vertical scrolling works fine out of the box on Ubuntu 14.04 (fully
  updated), but horizontal scrolling does not work.

  I have it connected to a Thinkpad X200, also with integrated
  Trackpoint, where horizontal works fine.

  If I run xev, vertical scrolling up / down outputs button 4 / 5 as
  expected, but horizontal scroll has no output.

  I have an open thread about it here: 
  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2270926

  Here is an Amazon reviewer on Archlinux (likely more knowledgeable than me) with the same issue:

  On a Windows machine horizontal scroll worked fine using the same
  device.
