But with the amouse the trackpoint didn't work right on > either Thinkpad, but works fine with smouse. I found that on the T61, amouse does odd things with the middle button. Click a Firefox or SeaMonkey tab with it, and instead of the tab closing, another window opens, way in the upper lefthand corner of the screen, not even visible without Alt-F7 and cursor down and over (titlebar unreachable). I've never used amouse on my ThinkPads. the only way I found out about it on the T61 was that it was installed by default (and I think Chuck filed a bug to have smouse installed as the default when a ThinkPad is detected - someone else filed an RFE to list more ThinkPads for pre-configuration). -- Lewis ------------------------------------------------------------- Lewis G Rosenthal, CNA, CLP, CLE Rosenthal & Rosenthal, LLC www.2rosenthals.com Need a managed Wi-Fi hotspot? www.hautspot.com Treasurer, Warpstock Corporation www.warpstock.org -------------------------------------------------------------
