Scrolling with a TrackPoint in a guest OS in VirtualBox didn’t work. It’s one of the times you really learn to appreciate the scroll function in mice.
The people at thinkpads.com seem to have a solution.
Try to add to "Pass 0" section of the file
C:\Program Files\Synaptics\SynTP\TP4table.dat
the following lines:;VirtualBox.exe
*,*,VirtualBox.exe,*,*,*,WheelStd,0,9See also

I never knew Synaptics made drivers for the TrackPoint, but I couldn’t find the directory on my computer. Instead, I found C:\Program Files\Lenovo\TrackPoint\tp4table.dat. After I made the changes and restarted tp4serv.exe, the scroll worked brilliantly in VirtualBox.
This solution also works for most other programs as well. For example, to use TrackPoint scrolling in Windows’ Remote Desktop, substitute VirtualBox.exe with mstsc.exe.
Awesome! thanks for the tip! Worked perfectly on my Thinkpad T510 on Virtualbox 3.2.8 Fedora 13 guest OS and Windows 7 64-bit host.
