I just did a fresh install of 12.10 and now only my touchpad works. The trackpoint and Left/Right buttons below the trackpoint do not work.

The trackpoint worked fine as of 12.04.

I've searched online and there was a hack that said that disabling the touchpad would enable the trackpoint. WRONG! You'll end up having to use the keyboard =/.

I don't know what is needed so I'll just dump some stuff.

I've installged gpointing-device-setting and it only lists the touchpad. No trackpoint.

What should I do? What data do you need?
