If you're using an UltraNav keyboard support varies by kernel version. I use 2.6.11.12 which does NOT support both trackpoint and glidepad. I believe newer versions support both. Another, more serious problem concerns suspend. Although [Fn F4] works with 2.6.11.12, newer kernels have been quite troublesome.
