2.5 After undocking the ThinkPad computer from a docking station or port
replicator, the TrackPoint
does not function if external pointer device
is attached to docking station
Models:
All ACPI-supported ThinkPad models
Issue:
After hot or warm-undocking my ThinkPad computer from a docking station
or port replicator, the TrackPoint
pointer device does not function
Cause:
This is by design of the computer hardware. If the ThinkPad computer is
turned-on with an external pointer device attached to the docking station and
the BIOS setting for the TrackPoint
pointer device is enabled as “auto-
disabled”, undocking the computer without the external pointing device
results in the TrackPoint
device being disabled. The “auto-disable” setting
automatically disables the TrackPoint
device if a pointer device is connected
to the external-input-device connector when the computer starts.
Resolution:
To allow the TrackPoint
pointer device to function after undocking, without
having an external pointer device attached, follow these instructions:
1.
Turn on your computer, and then logon to Windows 2000
Professional with an Administrator user account.
2.
Install the ThinkPad Configuration Utility for Windows 2000.
3.
After installing the utility and restarting your computer, open the
ThinkPad Configuration Utility.
4.
Click [TrackPoint] and set the ‘TrackPoint’ box to “Enable”.
5.
Click [Apply].
6.
Close the ThinkPad Configuration Utility and restart your computer.
When the TrackPoint device is enabled to “Enable”, after undocking the
computer, the TrackPoint device will function as expected even if an external
pointing device is not attached to the system.
