It seems I'm not the only ubuntu (or even linux) user out there having troubles with the trackpoint (aka 'stick', 'joystick', 'pointing stick') on the Latitude e6500.

I had recently come to the conclusion that the problems I was experiencing were somehow related to my sweaty thumb brushing against the trackpad when I hold down the left trackpoint button. These ubuntu/linux bug-reports/issues confirmed that. So, while I wait for 'they' to work-out a proven fix, I've adopted a ghetto work-around: I taped a piece of paper over the trackpad (I only use the trackpoint).
