[ltp] How to compile the Trackpoint Driver

Hello all,

I recently stumbled across the IBM TrackPoint Driver on
http://stephen.evanchik.com/index.cgi/linux but I can't compile it no
matter what I try. The patch uses a function 'psmouse_command()' which I
can't find in my kernel tree, and it also uses a structure with members
I don't have.

I tried the patch for 2.6.9 and 2.6.10-rc1-mm2, with no success at all,
even googling about the Driver didn't bring up any results, it looks
like anyone else is using this driver without problems.

I wonder what I have to do to get it working. Is there another patch I
have to apply first?

Thanks in advance
Wilfried
