For several years now i have been using a logitech trackman marble together with a libinput tweak to use the trackball for scrolling by holding down one of the buttons while spinning the ball.
Trackman marble linux scroll.
Make sure there is enough content to scroll scroll bar visible.
Click and hold left mouse button back button and simultaneously move marble on the mouse up and down to scroll.
To scroll you hold the small button down and move the ball up and down left and right.
Is there a way to scroll only with button.
Uses the small right button for browsing back.
Button 2 single click is back.
It works as a scroll button in windows.

Add the following text to the x configuration file.
Button 1 and button 4 middle click.
Press and hold to scroll freely horizontally and vertically.
I need a second click to deactivate scrolling.
As stated this just works so no need to change anything.
The center button doesn t seem to work under ubuntu 10 10.
Now i have universal scroll and autoscroll as options and both lock the scroll function.
I am used to hold one button and roll the ball to scroll under linux.
I have a logitech trackman marble.
Uses the small left button for browsing forward.
Button 4 normal right mouse button.
It has a large trackball for your thumb on the left and three buttons for your fingers.
I bought a logitech marble trackman.
Enables vertical scrolling by pressing and holding the small right button while moving the trackball.
Now i am working under win8 and installed logitech setpoint.
Hardware ids for the marble mouse buttons remain constant regardless of device configuration.
If it doesn t scroll then install open setpoint and set back button to generic button.
The rightmost button is for right clicking and context menus.
