Replying to myself:
You can get scrolling capabilities through gsettings:
$> gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.trackball \
scroll-wheel-emulation-button 8
You only have to do this once for the current user.
BUT
sometimes it is "off". Sporadically it does not work.
But this might have to do with this laptop. The
power management and the usb somehow interfere with
each other. It is a hardware problem.
