The latest theory is that the TrackPoint creep is caused by RF interference from the cellular modem. It seems to happen only during transmission, and the creep varies with the position of the cellular antenna. This is Sierra Wireless' theory, and so far it seems to make sense. --Lee Hetherington

Because the Trackpoint is a PS/2 device, it uses IRQ 12. -- Paul =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Paul Khoury pkhoury@loop.com =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Proudly using OS/2 Warp 3 & 4 Donate your idle CPU time to a needy cause.
