Great!

You stepped on minefield. xf86-input-keyboard does things that should
be done by xorg-server like terminal blanking, disabling keybuffering
and so on. I had seen (and heard) some funny effects before copied
required ~20 lines of code from xf86-input-keyboard to xorg-server.

Thanks for report. I was not able to test trackpoint due to lack of 
hardware.

Just run moused on /dev/psm0. Unlike usermode drivers like 
xf86-input-synaptics
in psm mode, in-kernel driver keeps psm0 device unbusied in sysmouse 
mode.

Patch looks good to me. I will merge it after small refactoring.

Thank you!
