Public bug reported:

Up until version 11.04 of ubuntu I could simply add an option to my X InputClass to emulate a third mouse button for my HP TrackPoint like this:
Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "Trackpoint"
    MatchIsPointer "on"
    Option "Emulate3Buttons" "True"
EndSection
This method stopped working since the upgrade to 11.10. I suppose it's related to the x-server update. I also tried adding a udev rule like this:
ENV{x11_options.Emulate3Buttons}="True"
which is also ignored.
