Sorry, now I get that your not on arch – just using the great Arch wiki. Anyways, I installed Testing from one of the newest images and it comes with with libinput as default.

If I ‘apt-get remove xserver-xorg-input-libinput’ and restart X-session the trackpoint doesn’t work at all and it’s not seen by “xinput list”.

I just realized now that I should probably install ‘xserver-xorg-input-evdev’ after removing ‘xserver-xorg-input-libinput’ (unless ‘xserver-xorg-input-libinput’ is a layer on top and it’s already installed.)

Will test when I get home.
