No.

You mean, there features are available in W*ndoes, but not in 
FreeBSD?

There can be two possible explanations:

a) These features are implemented in the device firmware level and
need to be explicitly activated by the driver software on the host
computer.  W*ndows driver knows it, but our psm driver doesn't.

b) These features are entirely implemented by the W*ndows driver
software.  The TrackPoint itself is behaving just like the ordinary 2,
or 3, button pointing device.  The W*ndows driver is so smart, our psm
driver isn't :-)
