Public bug reported:

The pointing stick on my laptop keyboard shares the pointer speed
setting with the external USB mouse, so it's impossible to use both
concurrently.

When I undock the laptop I have to change the pointer speed to fast or the pointing stick is unusable.
When I dock the laptop this change must be reversed or the mouse is unusable.

When the laptop is docked, switching between pointing devices is
cumbersome as the speed must be changed each time.

There is a separate setting for touchpad, there should be one for the
other integrated pointing device.
