I just switched to Kubuntu Vivid after previously running openSUSE 13.1 and Kubuntu Precise.
I have a ThinkPad with a keyboard and touchpad that look like this.
In my previous operating systems, I was able to change the speed and sensitivity of the trackpoint (the small red ball above the "B" key) with the following commands, as documented here.
However, neither of the above commands work in Kubuntu Vivid.
I initially thought that perhaps I was operating on the wrong directory, and that the "speed" and "sensitivity" files might instead be in something besides serio1/serio2. But then, using catfish, I searched for "speed" in /sys/devices/platform/i8042, and it didn't find anything. A search for "sensitivity" in /sys/devices/platform/i8042 didn't return any results either.
So... does anyone know how to configure a trackpoint in Kubuntu Vivid?

Code:
echo -n 100 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/speed # default is 97, interval of 0 to 255 echo -n 200 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/sensitivity # default is 128, interval of 0 to 255
