--- Comment #1 from Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer at who-t.net> ---
No, sorry. This feature is going to be virtually undiscoverable if it's hidden
within libinput and based on timeouts and movement thresholds. The latter is
difficult anyway, especially on trackpoints. We don't really have a notion of
"pixels" because we don't know the screens.

What you want is something that is mutually exclusive. Either you get button
scroll or you get button drag. But it's the same physical interaction from the
POV of the device.

A better solution here would be to move the scroll button to a button you don't
need for dragging. Or use a device that doesn't rely on middle button+drag for
scrolling.

Sorry, not something that I'll add to libinput.
