Hmmmmm, I've seen lots of Thinkpads, and been quite rough on quite a few. I've never seen that problem. I'm assuming you are talking about the red knob between the G,H,B, and N keys. The only mechanical problem I can think of is gunk around the knob, although that would seem to cause the keys to stick. Non-mechanically I think that there are some sensitivity settings, but these might be hard to get to without windoze. I remember something like in the Thinkpad windows control panel in windows, but now the only thinkpad I have access to is Linux only. -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/ TriLUG PGP Keyring : http://trilug.org/~chrish/trilug.asc
