Yes, all 3 buttons for the trackpoint as well as the trackpoint function as
they're intended.  Both buttons for the touchpad work too, as does all of the
touchpad and the scrolling stripe on the right-hand side of the touchpad.

It's possible, because it all works for me.  The only thing I had to do was
configure the center button for the trackpoint.

If you'd like me to post any config files or whatever, just let me know where
they're located and what they're called.
