Does anybody know how to increase the sensitivity of the Trackpoint on a Thinkpad X1 Carbon (5th generation) running with Ubuntu 17.10 Gnome on Wayland? I googled for it but all I found is that the input devices should be managed by libinput by default in this setup (Arch wiki). But the package libinput is even not installed on my machine.

Running

xinput list

gives:

⎡ Virtual core pointer                          id=2    [master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                id=4    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ xwayland-pointer:13                       id=6    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ xwayland-relative-pointer:13              id=7    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard                         id=3    [master keyboard (2)]
    ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard               id=5    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ xwayland-keyboard:13                      id=8    [slave  keyboard (3)]

where the properties (xinput --list-props 6) look like:

Device 'xwayland-pointer:13':
    Device Enabled (119):   1
    Coordinate Transformation Matrix (121): 1.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 1.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000, 1.000000
    Device Accel Profile (244): 0
    Device Accel Constant Deceleration (245):   1.000000
    Device Accel Adaptive Deceleration (246):   1.000000
    Device Accel Velocity Scaling (247):    10.000000

Changing values doesn't seem to have an effect.

Xorg sessions are not an option, since I need fractional scaling for a high dpi screen.

In the case, that I have to install the package libinput, can anybody provide some information about what to change exactly? Since I'm new to Linux, I would happy to get explanations easy to follow for a beginner.
