Hi Andrew, I ran into the same issue after upgrading to Ubuntu 14.04 (with kernel 3.13); found , and now finally got around to compile a kernel with your patches [1],[2] applied. I can confirm that the "feel" of the trackpoint is back to normal. Also, the various workarounds mentioned at http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/43430 do not work nearly as good (and of course, it would be much better if the trackpoint "just worked").

Thanks, Rasmus
