Public bug reported:
On my Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 5th Gen with Swedish keyboard, the
trackpoint and touchpad is defunct when running 16.04 LTS and 17.04 "out
of the box". You're essentially required to attach an external USB
connected mouse to complete (UI based) installation.
Workaround: I can get the trackpoint (red dot) and touchpad to work with
IMPS protocol. When loading the `psmouse` Linux kernel module, passing
arguments `protocol=imps`, clicks and moving the mouse around works.
Using the middle button for scrolling works - both by moving the
trackpoint, and by using the touchpad.
However, this disables two-finger scrolling using the touchpad.
I also own a X1 Carbon 3rd Gen which works just fine.
