of them see this. It's difficult to objectively test how the trackpoint
"feel"s with different parameters.

Hi Andrew,

I ran into the same issue after upgrading to Ubuntu 14.04 (with kernel
3.13); found <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=682413>,
and now finally got around to compile a kernel with your patches [1],[2]
applied. I can confirm that the "feel" of the trackpoint is back to
normal.

Also, the various workarounds mentioned at
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/43430 do not work nearly as good
(and of course, it would be much better if the trackpoint "just worked").

I have no idea whether those patches are the "right" fix, but FWIW, you
can add 'Tested-by: Rasmus Villemoes [off-list ref]'.

Thanks,
Rasmus
