Dear Maintainer,
I'm trying to use Debian 11 on a Lenovo Thinkpad T530 notebook but I'm
having problems with the trackpoint operation.
Apparently the module that the kernel loads for the trackpoint is
"psmouse" implicitly using "proto=any". But when this happens, the
trackpoint does not work and you see these messages in /var/log/messages:

That is, the mouse is detected as a trackpoint (TPPS/2 IBM Trackpoint)
but it is not operational. I guess the "Failed to enable mouse" message
can give a clue as to what the problem is.
If I change to "proto=imps", the trackpoint becomes operational but it is
extremely slow perhaps because it is detected as "PS/2 Generic Mouse".
This problem is replicable on Debian 11 using both linux-image-5.10.0-8-amd64
and linux-image-5.14.0-0.bpo.2-amd64.
I think the problem is purely related to the Linux drivers, since in
tests carried out with FreeBSD 13, the trackpoint is detected as
"TPPS/2 IBM Trackpoint" and it works without any problem.
Please let me know if I can provide any additional information to help
resolve this.
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Daniel
