Hello, I installed arch on a old notebook, HP Elitebook 2730p, from ~2009. It's wacom penabled.
It has both a "trackpoint" (forgot hp's market name) and also a touchpad.
The touchpad works perfectly.
The trackpoint is so slow, making it unusable. I'm used to thinkpads, they have /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/sensitivity and speed, this HP thing has nothing apart from rate (100) and resolution (200). You can see the dir tree below.
It gets loaded as PS/2 Generic Mouse.
Can't make it faster.
Tried to alter libinput Accel Speed to 1, it did ~nothing. Also tried gpointing-device-settings, it does nothing.
Started reading about libinput matrix... brain exploded!
Running i3wm btw.

"solved" by forcing evdev for the trackpoint via xorg.conf.d, while using libinput for the touchpad.

Could you please share your configuration please?

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but thought someone may find this useful (took me longer to figure it out than I care to admit). Firstly, make sure that you have `extra/xf86-input-evdev` installed. Then, in `/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/XX-trackpoint.conf`:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "..."
Driver "evdev"
...
Option "Device Accel Constant Deceleration" "0.4"
EndSectionOffline
