Standby And Hibernation Problems - IBM Thinkpad X30 Series Service And Troubleshooting Manual

Solution:
The pointer might drift when you are not using the TrackPoint during
normal operation. This is a normal characteristic of the TrackPoint and is
not a defect. The pointer drifts for several seconds under the following
conditions:
v When the computer is turned on.
v When the computer resumes normal operation.
v When the TrackPoint is pressed for a long time.
v When the temperature changes.
Problem:
The mouse or the pointing device does not work.
Solution:
Make sure that the TrackPoint is set to Automatic in the ThinkPad
Configuration Program. Then detach the mouse or the pointing device,
and try using the TrackPoint. If the TrackPoint works, the error might be
due to the mouse or the pointing device.
Make sure that the cable for the mouse or the pointing device is securely
connected to the X3 UltraBase, the ThinkPad Dock, the ThinkPad Dock II,
the ThinkPad Mini Dock, the ThinkPad Port Replicator, or theThinkPad
Port Replicator II.
If your mouse is incompatible with the IBM PS/2 mouse, disable the
TrackPoint, using the ThinkPad Configuration Program.
Note: For more information, see the manual supplied with the mouse.
