Description
I have a Thinkpad T460s and have set the trackpoint to flat acceleration profile via an entry in /etc/xorg.d
When I connect an external mouse (also handled by libinput) the acceleration profile of the Trackpoint is switched to accelerated. Unplugging the mouse does not revert this and the Trackpoint is kept on an accelerated profile (barely usable)
Here is a xinput list-prop for the Trackpoint in normal conditions
