Configure middle button scroll for mouse when it's plugged in

Configure mouse's middle button scroll

This gist specifies how to setup the system to allow for mouse scrolling whenever the mouse (USB device) is plugged in.

Obs: it's not working. For some reason the script doesn't find xorg when trying to run when to mouse is plugged in, so the commands are not being applied. However, if they are called by a script after login and your mouse is already plugged in it will work.
