Hi Pali,
Ok, and cannot you set ALPS_DUALPOINT flag based on that
alps_check_is_trackpoint() result and then update
alps_process_packet_ss4_v3() code to supports also
V8 trackpoint packets?
--> Yes, we can do like so, when we use the v8 method to process the trackpoint
, the mouse speed is not ideal.
Then we choose the standard mouse driver.

Ok, now I got it.

Yes, this would be more easier to understand.
Anyway, more information should be in commit message.
