The Middle button on Synaptics touchpad should scroll, but it doesn't in my case. Here is the output of "xinput list" command:

Playing with settings 253 and 265 gave no success. The setting Synaptics Button Scrolling Repeat (264): 1, 1 doesn't affect anything. When I press the middle button, scroll is performed only once and isn't repeated. The driver version is 1.5.99.902.

UPD. The problem was in compiz settings (I changed the following settings: sync to VBlank is off, sync with refresh rate is off, compiz ping delay is 2000).
