Bug description:
  When using the trackpoint mouse buttons on the laptop, when any of the
  buttons are pressed a release event immediately follows, even if the
  mouse button is being held down. This prevents moving of windows,
  typical drag & drop operations, selection etc with the mouse.

  Example output from xev for button 1:

  ButtonPress event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x7e00001,
      root 0xb6, subw 0x0, time 1097221, (116,59), root:(116,142),
      state 0x0, button 1, same_screen YES

  ButtonRelease event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x7e00001,
      root 0xb6, subw 0x0, time 1097229, (116,59), root:(116,142),
      state 0x100, button 1, same_screen YES

  Button 2:
  ButtonPress event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x7e00001,
      root 0xb6, subw 0x0, time 1100941, (116,59), root:(116,142),
      state 0x0, button 2, same_screen YES

  ButtonRelease event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x7e00001,
      root 0xb6, subw 0x0, time 1100941, (116,59), root:(116,142),
      state 0x200, button 2, same_screen YES

  Button 3:
  ButtonPress event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x7e00001,
      root 0xb6, subw 0x0, time 1098467, (116,59), root:(116,142),
      state 0x0, button 3, same_screen YES

  ButtonRelease event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x7e00001,
      root 0xb6, subw 0x0, time 1098477, (116,59), root:(116,142),
      state 0x400, button 3, same_screen YES
