T480s Trackpoint drifts

Hi there,

I authored https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Le … kPad_T480s since I recently bought the model. Overall, it's working out great.

However over time I've noticed my Trackpoint "drifts" and it's very annoying on a tiling window manager like dwm.

I tried disabling it in the bios, or via xinput, but then the buttons stop functioning. I rely on the middle button for pasting. I know I could shift+ins, but old habits die hard.

Any ideas what I can do to remedy the situation? Namely the drift?
