The today's update brought a new kernel, 2.6.32-ARCH. With it, came a small annoyance: the trackpoint scroll stopped working. I reviewed the hal configuration to see if the file was overwritten or something, but it wasn't, so after a google search I found out that the new kernel is not detecting the trackpoint as a "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" but as a "PS/2 Generic Mouse" so the hal rule is not raised and the scroll configuration is not applied. Until the kernel gets updated to fix this bug, the easy workaround is to change the rule to be raised for the "PS/2 Generic Mouse" string instead. It got fixed with the latest kernel update. Special features from the trackpoint will not be available, but I'm currently using nothing special from it.
