I’m using Ubuntu Feisty Fawn. I need to execute a command in the terminal to fully enable my trackpoint each time I boot. I’d like to make this automated. Does Linux have something similar to an autoexec file?

Debian is the upstream from Ubuntu, it’s almost the same process.
You can try with /etc/inittab .
I prefer to do it with /etc/init.d/*.sh
