problem with ps2 and trackpoint in 2.6.11-rc4

problem with ps2 and trackpoint in 2.6.11-rc4

[Christoffer Gurell]

(I hope trackpoint is the correct word. It is a small "joy"stick like
 pointer located between the keys of the keyboard on many laptops)

As of 2.6.11-rc4 the trackpoint on my Dell Latitude d800 no longer
works. 
The d800 is equiped with both a trackpoint and a touchpad and up to 2.6.11-rc3 
both worked fine with the kernel ps2 driver.

The touchpad still works in 2.6.11-rc4 and rc5 but the trackpoint does
nothing.

dmesg gives me the following in both rc3 and rc4.

mice: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice
input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard on isa0060/serio0
ALPS Touchpad (Dualpoint) detected
input: AlpsPS/2 ALPS TouchPad on isa0060/serio1

It appears i had more problems than a not working trackpoint in 2.6.11-rc4. 
When i use the trackpoint and klick the mousebutten in 2.6.11-rc3 the 
mousepointer makes strange jumps across the screen. I cant find any
pattern to the jumps, it just happens now and then.
