Hmm... what kind of laptop (make and model)  I have  a whole bunch of 
laptop keyboard/trackpoint assemblies (mostly for older ThinkPads)

Failing that, your best bet, I think, would be to either try an external 
ps/2 mouse, or set the x mouse to 'sysmouse' and mess with it using moused 
on the command line.  For me, anyhow, that is much easier to debug.
