Thanks for the replies.

I restarted with no external mouse and the Trackpoint worked OK.
/proc/bus/input/devices listed a TrackPoint device:

I then inserted the mouse and both the TrackPoint and mouse worked correctl=
y.

I then restarted with the mouse connected and the old problem re-emerged: m=
ouse OK, TrackPoint not detected.
Starting with the mouse CONNECTED:

>Failing
that, go into EZSetup and set the TrackPoint to Enabled (versus
Auto-disable which will DISABLE the TrackPoint if a mouse is connected).<
EZSetup on my 600X doesn't have any Trackpoint configuration options.

As a workaround, I can just remove the mouse whenever I reboot. But it look=
s like the Trackpoint and the mouse are fighting each other for the same re=
sources...
