I have a Thinkpad E420, which has the standard nipplemouse + 3-button 
setup. On Windows and Linux, the middle button acts as a button if I tap it 
and a scroll wheel (controlled the nipple) if I hold it. When I run 9front 
in Qemu, however, I get neither behavior. Is there a way to make Qemu see 
it as a normal middle-button? 9front is obviously pretty unusable without 
one.

cant't remember having mouse problems with qemu. if middle button doesnt 
work,
you can hold shift and press right mouse button to emulate a middle mouse 
button.

xinput is the tool for the job here on linux, although it makes global modifications which you may not want. `xinput list` lists devices, use `xinput list-props <device>` to list the properties of your trackpoint. you'll find one of the properties is scroll-wheel emulation. you can turn it off with `xinput set-prop <device> <prop> <val>`. device and prop can be number or name, and `0` suffices to set a boolean to false.
