Bug Description
The pointing stick on my laptop keyboard shares the pointer speed setting with the external USB mouse, so it's impossible to use both concurrently.
When I undock the laptop I have to change the pointer speed to fast or the pointing stick is unusable.
When I dock the laptop this change must be reversed or the mouse is unusable.
When the laptop is docked, switching between pointing devices is cumbersome as the speed must be changed each time.
There is a separate setting for touchpad, there should be one for the other integrated pointing device.
