IBM has released a new package supporting Mouse and Trackpoint devices
for OS/2 on June 24 that is downloadable from their OS/2 Device Driver
On-Line Pak site:
http://service5.boulder.ibm.com/2bcprod.nsf/
(After agreeing to the terms), follow the links to "Mice and Track
Balls" then "IBM Corporation". The packages (TrackPoint II and IV) are
highlighted as updated and new.
This may be of special interest to ThinkPad T30 owners.
Here is an excerpt from the included readme:
SingleMouse README
Version 1.0
Support for OS/2
June 24, 2002
1. Overview
This INSTALL.EXE driver package provides you with IBM's most current
support for Mouse and TrackPoint devices on the OS/2 Operating System.
In the past there were two separate drivers - generic mouse driver
MOUSE.SYS (automatically installed during OS/2 installation) and
optional TrackPoint driver MOUSE2.SYS (located in the \OPTIONS\TP4\
directory on your OS/2 installation CD-ROM).
The SingleMouse package combines the functionality of both these drivers
into one. Now all mouse and TrackPoint related preferences could be
changed in the Mouse object in [OS/2 System]-[System setup] folder.
This is a required update for ThinkPad T30 owners to fix problems with
TrackPoint that may stop working after suspend/resume with CP2 drivers.
I had hoped that this might also fix the suspend/resume hang problem
(also on CP2) on my own T23 (2647-5RG) - but sadly it hasn't. If anyone
has any advice about this - problem - please let me know.
