You have to enable synaptics support in psm(4). By doing that the middle=20 button works nicely while trackpoint and touchpad are both operational. Adding hw.psm.synaptics_support=3D"1" to loader.conf should do the trick (i= t=20 does at least on my T41p). You might as well want to have a look at the synaptics x11 driver from port= s=20 (x11-servers/synaptics) which enables one to use several advanced features = of=20 the touchpad. You can find several utilities for configuration in ports as= =20 well (ksynaptics and gsynaptics. Maybe there are others).
