I have a system with which I use a Lenovo USB keyboard with a
trackpoint pointer -- the little red eraser mouse, as seen on the
laptops. I hadn't updated this system in a while (I admit; bad, I
know) and applied a big batch of updates (including from updates
testing). Now, whenever I touch the pointer stick, the cursor jumps to
the top left corner (0,0) and can't be moved from there. I plugged in
an external mouse and that looks fine. The `libinput list-devices`
command shows:
Device: Lenovo ThinkPad Compact USB Keyboard with TrackPoint
Kernel: /dev/input/event10
Group: 8
Seat: seat0, default
Capabilities: keyboard pointer
Tap-to-click: n/a
Tap-and-drag: n/a
Tap drag lock: n/a
Left-handed: disabled
Nat.scrolling: disabled
Middle emulation: disabled
Calibration: n/a

Click methods: none
Disable-w-typing: n/a

There was a kernel update, but going back to an older version doesn't
solve it. I'm on Xorg on this system.
Any idea what might be going on, and what I can do about it? And, what
recent update might have caused this?
