Bug Description
TO REPRODUCE:
1. Open mouse and touchpad settings in System Settings
2. Put sensitivity and acceleration to max.
3. Doubleclick on the face
RESULT: Trackpoint is as slow as it was before. This leads to me having to use more pressure on the trackpoint, which causes my fingers to hurt after a while.
EXPECTED RESULT: Mouse pointer should move faster while using TrackPoint.

WORKAROUND: On the following page I found a script that allows to change sensitivity:

A value of 165 (instead of 180) was perfect for me. The default is 128.

T=`find /sys/devices/
SERIO_DIR=
sudo sh -c "echo -n 180 > $SERIO_DIR/speed"
sudo sh -c "echo -n 180 > $SERIO_
