[ltp] trackpoint kernel driver

[Richard]

Dear All,

I found this page explaining how to make the trackpoint work with high 
sensitivity under kernel 2.6:
http://thinkwiki.org/wiki/Patch_to_enable_advanced_trackpoint_configuration
It replaces the excellent tp4d under kernel 2.4.

However, there is just a kernel patch, as opposed to any way to build a 
new kernel module. Recompiling the entire kernel takes many many hours on 
this (a22) machine. So, is there any way to build the trackpoint module to 
work with the kernel which I already have? (It's kernel 2.6.12-8mdk from 
Mandriva 2006 Beta 2).

Thanks very much for your help,

Richard
