If you want to use a serial device
as well as the TouchPad, you must
make sure the device's driver can
"see" it on COM1 (the
some operating systems, you can
only use one pointing device driver
at a time, either serial or PS/2. To
use a serial device, first enable it
by attaching it to the port (while
the system is OFF) and then start
up and configure it with a suitable
driver.

ISABLING THE OUCH
If you want to disable the TouchPad so that it isn't activated by mistake,
use the Fn + key combination to toggle the TouchPad ON or OFF.
You can also enable or Disable in Setup. However, if the pointing device
is disabled or on a disabled port when the computer starts up, the operat-
ing system won't load the driver and even this toggle won't make it work.
Refer to Chapter 4: Firmware for more on the Setup utility.

You can also use a mouse connected
to the (PS/2) port. Just make the
connection, and the system auto-
port). In matically detects the mouse when
it starts up, using the same driver
for both devices.
Note: The PS/2 port only accepts one type
of device per system session. If you want to
switch to an external Keyboard on this port,
you must shut down and restart the system.
However, you can detach and reconnect the
same device during a system session.
