With its default settings, the trackpoint is very slow. With
sensitivity and speed at their maximum value, I find it very nice to
use.

I agree tap to click is awkward and scrolling with trackpoint is a
must-have feature. Unfortunately, you can't currently use the
trackpoint and the ALPS drivers together, and there are no patch to
fix that. You'll have to make a choice.  As for the documentation, I
might update thinkwiki when my exams will be over.
