I just tried it.  Couple of issues:

1. The "speed" of the pointer on the screen is way faster now.  I
corrected that with some XF86Config options.

2. The pad has 4 buttons; left and right work as before.  In between,
there are a small up and down button.  Now the up button acts as the
middle button (button 3?) -- ie I can paste with it.  The down button
still does nothing.  I tried playing with the moused parameters and
the XF86Config ZAxisMapping settings, to no avail.  

3. Earlier, tapping on the touchpad would emulate a left click.  It
no longer does anything (not sure whether that's good or bad).

What I'd like is to emulate 3 buttons with simultaneous left-right
clicking, as before; have the "up" button behave like scrolling a
mousewheel up; and have the "down" button behave like scrolling a
mousewheel down.  I thought the 
  Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
in XF86Config, and
  moused -m 4=3 -m 5=4
would do it.  But no luck (though the above moused options do stop the
up button from acting like a middle button).

Any ideas, anyone?

Thanks

Rahul
