[Faule Socke <967399@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Someone on the linux-input mailing list[1] wrote a patch to fix this
issue. I've attached a slightly modified version (changed the device
name to "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" so that existing Xorg configurations
found in the internet will work).

The patch creates a second device right inside the elantech.c which
seems a little hacky but works totally fine.

Regards
