file a bug against libinput please. libinput pairs the trackpoint with
internal keyboards but if you also have the external keyboard with the
trackpoint, most likely the pairing isn't set up correctly. It should work if
you jused used that but you're probably the first user to have two trackpoints
so some heuristic just isn't up to scratch. Should be fixable.
