After your serial connector is enabled, you can use it as a
communication port. If it does not work properly, you might
have a problem with the communication software application
or the cable or device attached to the serial connector.
Check the online help system for your communication
software if the cable and attached device appear to be
working properly.
How can I use an external mouse when I am at my desk, but
then use the TrackPoint when I am away from my desk?
The TrackPoint has an “auto disable” setting that disables it
when you power on or restart the computer with an external
mouse attached. When you want to enable the TrackPoint,
remove the external mouse; then restart the computer.
Note:
You can set up the TrackPoint manually with the
ThinkPad Configuration program as follows:
1
Start the ThinkPad Configuration program.
2
Click on the TrackPoint button.
3
Select enable, disable, or auto disable from
the TrackPoint list box.
4
Click on OK.
Why do I not get the highest possible resolution out of my
external monitor when I am using the LCD and external monitor
at the same time?
You can set any resolution for either the ThinkPad LCD or
the external monitor. When you use both at the same time,
the resolution of both is the same. If you set a higher
resolution for the ThinkPad LCD, you can see only part of
the screen at a time. You can see other parts by moving
Notes:
1. If you check your serial connector and it is already enabled, you can use
it immediately without changing any settings.
2. You can disable your computer's infrared port to free resources for
another communication device, such as the serial connector.
