I was still having problems with the Glidepoint (and trackpoint III) pointing devices locking up after a restart from suspend. This is after changing the power.exe to a newer version. I also saw on News that someone using a Logitech with the Logitech driver was having the same problem in the same way (after resume from suspend, the pointer freezes once it centers on the screen). I have (tentatively) concluded that the fault is with the Glidepoint (and Logitech) driver software. I assume that those drivers are not fully APM aware and therefore have spurious faults due to interrupt states or recovery of registers or whatever when restarting from suspend. I completely removed the Glidepoint driver and went back to the PS/2 mouse driver. I had to modify mouse.ini to have only two lines: [mouse] MouseType=PS2 (Glidepoint put a bunch of stuff in that made the mouse jerky). The glidepoint now works fine as a basic PS/2 mouse replacement. That seems to have cleared up the lockup problem (so far). I of course lost any chance of using tap click mouse operations on the Glidepoint. Hopefully, Glidepoint will fix their driver to work properly with the ThinkPad APM. It would also be nice if it knew enough to disable the Trackpoint interference when it was detected and thus allow tap click mouse operations. I will try to call Alps some time about this. I couldn't get into conferences on the Alps BBS, so I don't know if this has been discussed there.
