Thanks for the responses folks. Neither suggestion made a difference; I disabled the "AllowEmptyInput" option, ensured xf86-input-evdev, and then removed all references to the trackpoint in the xorg.conf file.
It's worth noting that if I configure the InputDevice (commented in the email below) to "TrackPoint" it works without issues (but then the trackpad doesn't work). Any other thoughts? -james On Wed, Jan 5, 2011 at 10:17, walt <w41...@gmail.com> wrote: > On 01/04/2011 08:42 PM, James wrote: >> >> All, >> >> Has anyone gotten both the trackpad and trackpoint on a t400 to work >> simultaneously?
