I watched the behavior on you-tube, and i can confirm the behavior as
well.
It seams that the trackpoint mouse has a click to the trackpoint by
itself.
It almost seams likes its doing a click-lock behavior.
If you gently move the trackpoint it doesn't lock for me. but i only use
the touchpad
I'm a bit on the opposite side as Robert - I only use the touchpad for
scrolling, and use the pointy stick almost exclusively. But I commonly
see the LH stick button lock on, and have to hit one of the other
buttons (generally LH pad button) to free it up.

ALPS DualPoint Touchpad flaky
@Erik: WTF, you have three buttons on the Touchpad? I only have two on
the touchpad and three on the trackpoint. I'm not really surprised that
this breaks the driver as it is. We'll have to do further research on
your model.
[Background: 9-byte packets on my model are marked by having all three
Sebastian:
Correct, there are three buttons for each device on my Dualpoint. It's
actually pretty convenient, once you get used to it!
Thanks for all of your work and patience.

Robert: If I remember correctly, these devices are represented by two
input devs in the code, each with its own set of buttons. There was
something weird about how the buttons were represented in the 9-byte
packet, and what happened with the old patch was that the button state
for dev would
@Dave: Input layer is not guilty here. A release event for the dev2 is
not being sent, so the buttons sticks. This is a bug in the Alps driver.
Exactly, that's how I meant it. The driver doesn't translate all packets
into the input layer. Only 3 event are generated for those 4 packets.
BTW,
@Sebastian - No, I've got a Dell E6400 Latitude with the alps
touchpad/trackpoint combination.
@Erik - Perhaps I miscommunicated - I almost NEVER use the touchpad
buttons in any kind of normal operation, and have pretty well trained
myself NOT to touch the touchpad unless I scroll. Scrolling
Please apply the attached patch on top of the other two. I'd like the
complete output of dmesg | grep alps (since the init of the module,
please reload between tests) for the following:
1. Press all three touchpad buttons at once.
2. Use touchpad and trackpoint movement at the same time (which
