You might have noticed that Trackpoints sometimes start "drifting". 
Something like that would definitely trigger the timeout. On ThinkPads 
it helped if I "wiggled" them a bit.

You might want to compare your xev output with the output of xev when 
touching the TrackPoint to see if this is the culprit.

Kind regards,
