==4 port USB 2.0 hub==<br />
Note that the USB provider is a hub - a few people have reported some USB peripherals (such as Palms) having problems due to it being a hub, although the majority of people do not have this problem, and the usefulness of the 4 port hub outweighs any potential downside. If you encounter problems, you can always use the USB ports on your Thinkpad to get a direct connection.<br />
==DVI pass-through==<br />
LCD monitors are getting larger and higher-resolution. Currently, DVI based on 165MHz TDMS transmitters can only (officially) support 1600x1200x32 at 60Hz, which is the resolution of your average 20" non-widescreen LCD. IBM's driver support for this resolution through DVI ports on docks has been inconsistent. Also in Linux you might experience [[Problem with DVI throughput|problems]] even with this resolution and IBM officially states that the pass-through DVI port only supports resolutios up to 1280x1024. Read [[Problem with DVI throughput|our page]] of information on how to solve these troubles.<br />

=== IBM TrackPoint ===<br />
The TrackPoint is IBMs name for the stick that sits between the g, h an b keys of the keygggboard. It is used as a pointing device and hence as an alternative to an external mouse or a touchpad. What sets it apart from devices found in notebooks of other manufacturers is that it has no moving parts. It works using a solid state strain gauge. Its tap-to-click feature, which means that you can tap the stick to do a left click instead of using the left mouse button, is also handy.<br />
</div><br />
|}<br />
<br />
==Linux Support==<br />
The TrackPoint uses the PS/2 interface so it is supported by the standard psaux mouse input driver included in the Linux kernel.<br />
<br />
Note that the "IMPS/2" driver of the X server is incompatible with most TrackPoints. You'll have to use "PS/2" in the protocol option of your input section if your mouse pointer always jumps to the lower left corner of the screen. This seems to be solved with the T4x generation of ThinkPads.<br />
<br />
However, to make use of advanced features like configuring sensitivity or enabling "tab-to-click" there are different solutions available depending on the kernel you are using.<br />
* For 2.4 type kernels it is recommended to use the [http://www.slac.stanford.edu/~strauman/pers/tp4utils/ Linux Trackpoint utilities].<br />
* For 2.6 type kernels there is a [[Patch to enable advanced trackpoint configuration]] available. If you are using GNOME you might want to use [http://tpctl.sourceforge.net/configure-trackpoint.html configure-trackpoint] as a graphical frontend to it.<br />
