Chuck and I have both found the IBM mouse driver to be more "predictable" on ThinkPads in general (I know he's mentioned the T61 to me, but I've found it that way for some time). Try the IBM single mouse driver, Jon, and see how that works for you. Just curious. On this T60 I have the standard IBM driver and also USBmouse. Works OK with either the trackpoint or the external mouse (I use the trackpoint; MJ uses the rodent) with the external plugged in. Only problem is that sometimes the trackpoint cursor wanders; I believe this is a hardware/bios issue. At any rate I can usually cure it for a while by slamming the pointer against an edge of the screen. I have seen this same "wandering" behavior and agree that it appears to be a hardware/BIOS issue. -- Chuck McKinnis 1449 State Highway 14 N Sandia Park, NM 87047 505-286-3191 http://www.7cities.net/~mckinnis/ Let not thine heart envy sinners: but be thou in the fear of the Lord all the day long. For surely there is an end; and thine expectation shall not be cut off. Proverbs 23:17,18
