TrackPoint
or
pointing
device
If
the
TrackPoint
does
not
work,
check
the
configuration
as
specified
in
the
ThinkPad
Configuration
program.
If
the
TrackPoint
is
disabled,
select
Automatic
to
enable
it.
After
you
use
the
TrackPoint,
the
pointer
may
drift
on
the
screen
for
a
short
time.
This
drift
can
occur
when
a
slight,
steady
pressure
is
applied
to
the
TrackPoint
pointer.
This
symptom
is
not
a
hardware
problem.
If
the
pointer
stops
after
a
short
time,
no
service
action
is
necessary.
If
enabling
the
TrackPoint
does
not
correct
the
problem,
