I'm also on a P1gen2. I just added support for the Trackpoint/Thinkpad through the more advanced RMI4 interface in the kernel, instead of going through PS/2 emulation mode:

This will be in Linux 5.10 and should improve things quite a bit.
- juancampa 6y agoThis is great news, thanks for your work. Can you elaborate on what's better about RMI4? Also you said Trackpoint/Thinkpad. Did you mean Trackpoint/Trackpad?
