T440S: Switched from CHY to LTN, now trackpoint not working

This is just a shot in the dark, I guess the hardware I bought is not working. Still, wanted to see if anyone here had anything to say about this.
I took the plunge and got a Lite-On keyboard to replace the Chicony my T440s came with. However, after replacing the keyboard the trackpoint is not working. Everything else works fine.
Is there a difference in the trackpoint on the Lite-On than that of the one I had on the Chicony? Maybe the ID of the two are different but does that matter? I thought the reference was to "tpps/2 ibm trackpoint" in all the config files I can see (the X11 ones). Everything works fine with the old keyboard.

Thanks for any help what so ever.

Re: T440S: Switched from CHY to LTN, now trackpoint not working

FWIW, in Xorg.0.log I have the following (note the "ignoring this device" bit in the final rows). Any clues how to solve this? Much appreciated.

[    37.275] (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" (type: MOUSE, id 17)
[    37.275] (II) evdev: TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint: initialized for relative axes.
[    37.275] (**) TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint: (accel) keeping acceleration scheme 1
[    37.275] (**) TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint: (accel) acceleration profile 0
[    37.275] (**) TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint: (accel) acceleration factor: 2.000
[    37.275] (**) TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint: (accel) acceleration threshold: 4
[    37.276] (II) config/udev: Adding input device TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint (/dev/input/mouse2)
[    37.276] (II) No input driver specified, ignoring this device.
[    37.276] (II) This device may have been added with another device file.

I've deemed this to be a hardware issue. I've gone back to the old one. At least it is working.
Mods: feel free to set this as solved.
