XFree 4.0.2 and mouse on ibm X20

[Ole Sebastian Stein <osstein@stud.ntnu.no>]

I am running testing and encountered a stange thing with the mouse.  It just 
skips around the screen whenever I touch the trackpoint on my Ibm X20 laptop. 
 Even though I don't touch the mouse buttons, menus pop up as if I had.  I've 
tried lots of different settings, but it still won't work.

In the end I tried XFree86 3.3.6 from stable instead.  No problems what so 
ever.  But I would really like to use XFree 4.  Any suggestions?  Is this a 
bug?

>From the 4.0.3 changelog;
-A problem with the ThinkingMousePS/2 protocol is fixed in the mouse
driver.

I dunno if this is it, but nevertheless I am using PS/2 protocol which is 
working in 3.3.6.  Also a friend of mine has the ibm T21 and is also using 
PS/2 (strangely enough it is working under 4.0.2 for him).

(linux 2.4.3)
