Trackpoint USB keyboard?

I have a French Canadian Trackpoint USB keyboard,

and I'm wondering if I'll need a driver to use its Trackpoint with Linux (Ubuntu 7.04). I did install a driver on my current computer (Windows XP) when I got the keyboard, but maybe I didn't need it...? Or maybe it was for the Trackpoint functionality... I'm really not sure.

I noticed that my keyboard doesn't seem to be even... known about at all. I see that the model # on the back is KPH0035, if that helps anyone.
