[ltp] 600X: Trackpoint pointer not working at all

[michael mclaughlin]

Fedora Core 6, kernel 2.6.18 installed on a IBM Thinkpad 600X.
The TrackPoint pointer (the red button in the middle of the keyboard) and t=
he associated selection buttons are not enabled.
NOTE: This model does not have a touch pad, just click-buttons and trackpoi=
nt pointer.
A normal PS/2 plugged in at the back of the computer works OK.
My /etc/X11/xorg.conf has no mention of the Trackpoint pointer, or of any m=
ouse...

Some more info:
* psmouse is built-in to the 2.6.18 kernel, so I don't need to load it as a=
 module.
* dmidecode correctly lists a TrackPoint device
* /proc/bus/input/devices does not list a TrackPoint device!
* ls /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio0/
bind_mode driver input:event1 modalias rate resync_time
bus drvctl input:input1 power resetafter subsystem
description id input:mouse0 protocol resolution ueven
* synaptics RPM is installed (but I think this is for touchpad users?)
The FC8 kernel doesn't seem to be registering my TrackPoint.
Any ideas?
Thanks
