What do you mean by "official touchpad driver"? Official = IBM / Lenovo?

You should look into if you have the official Microsoft touchpad driver aka Microsoft Precision Touchpad Driver as that is much better than any third party driver.

On Windows the middle mouse button on the TrackPoint will either work as middle mouse button or for scrolling. I have to change the config to switch between the two modes.

On Linux it just works™ like it should. Creates a middle mouse click when clicked, scrolls when I drag the TrackPoint.

It should be solved by using Lenovo's driver.
