I'm at my wit's end.
My Asus notebook has a pointing stick, but it does not work under Wayland with libinput through KDE in Arch Linux.
There does not seem to be any documentation regarding trackpoints & libinput, especially not, when referring to Wayland and even more so, when trying to make a non-Lenovo pointing stick work.

This is the joke of a documentation I found regarding trackpoints & libinput. All other unofficial resources are basically just talking about disabling, or modifying an already working trackpoint and then it's most of the time not compatible with Wayland, anyway.
The mind numbing part about the issue is, that libinput perfectly recognises the pointing stick as a mouse, including having the pointing stick attribute, etc. It all seems like it's working, in theory.
When listing devices or reading logs of listed devices, the pointing stick is always properly listed, registered & recognised. No issue there - in theory.
Everything works - in theory - yet, when using the pointing stick, no movement is recognised by the OS, at all.
Touchpad works fine.
Pointing stick is enabled in KDE System Settings.
Pointing stick works, of course, perfectly fine on Windows. No problem.
I would be happy if you could ...point... me to the right track, so I can come closer to a solution.
If any information is still needed, I'll provide what'd be requested.
