You *might* be describing a different problem here - we're talking about the trackpoint not working ONLY in the "firstboot" application. It works fine during every other part of the installation, and during normal use. No X updates or downgrades are required to fix the problem outside of "firstboot". The Thinkpad 570E I can reprodce this problem on uses a Neomagic video chipset.
