Hi Dmitry & Pali, While working on some libinput code to deal with trackpoints of different model laptops having quite different speed / sensitivity ootb, I noticed that with the current 4.0-rc# kernels the trackpoint events on laptops with a PROTO_V2 alps touchpad are no longer being send by the "Dualpoint Stick" event node, instead a new "ALPS PS/2 Mouse" node gets created and sends the trackpoint events.
The cause of this is that the stick on these devices sends bare ps/2 packets as data. Although this does not really break anything (atm, it does break my libinput work), it is still wrong, esp. also since the "Dualpoint Stick" node has the POINTING_STICK property set, where as the "ALPS PS/2 Mouse" node which is actually sending the stick events does not. If still possible I would like to see this fixes added to 4.0, if not we should queue them up for stable.
