The following may work for you...go to:

Display Properties
Settings
Advanced
Monitor

and increase the screen refresh rate. From what I read in posts here, this setting has no impact on the LCD monitor, but it does increase the track point sensitivity. I set it at 85 and am happy with that.

Is there a check in the box for "Hide modes that this monitor cannot display"? If so, uncheck the box and you should see some additional refresh rates. Again, this should only be done for the LCD screen. Not recommended for CRTs.

Hi
First of all , sorry, I was asking this for my T60 lcd , oopps should have made that clear. so unchecking the "hide " only shows the different resolution.

thanks.

There are two places where you control trackpoint speed:

Control Panel -> Mouse -> Pointer Options -> Select Pointer Speed

Control Panel -> Mouse -> Ultranav -> Trackpoint -> Sensitivity

Mine is set exactly at the middle at "pointer speed" (enhance precision is turned ON), and two bars below max at "sensitivity".

If you maxed both out and it stills feels sluggish, then either your trackpoint is defective, or you just don't know how to use it right.

no, Its me, I adapted to the speed, on my 14" sxga+ i travel diagonal diagonal in 0.6 seconds, and people who have recently used my laptop complains of not being able to see the pointer.

so I am defective :D .


thanks

You might try going directly to the Synaptics website and downloading the latest drivers directly from there. I've had excellent results from my trackpoint and touchpad using Synaptics drivers.
