[ltp] Weirdness with trackpoint/A20m

[Harry Mangalam]

This sounds like interaction/competition between gpm and X, (it was for my
installation of Debian Potato on a TP770X - kill gpm before starting X to
see if it stops it) but why it would happen only on boot-on-battery, I
don't know..

Interested to hear the outcome...
