Well, the title says it all... I have an IBM Thinkpad T22.. Whats that third button beneath the right click and left click do? I haven't been able to figure it out.. Maybe I just need to find a driver to get it to do something..

Does it do something special?

It does work in firefox, you just need to go to the IBM website and update the drivers.

Good luck

Which drivers would that be? I tried looking on the website, but nothing seemed to relate to anything I needed.. maybe I just overlooked "mouse" or whatever.. but most things seemed to be fixes for specific solutions...

to bad you don't have a general updator for the whole book. You could look under mouse properties you might get a driver or device name and then you could hit up google, and then they will point you at the IBM driver page.

Here you go. IBM Drivers

Just fill in the info and then scroll down to the Mouse/Trackpoint section and download. Also there is an auto software loader available that will autoupdate all the driver/BIOS/etc.. Autoupdate Program

Good Luck

Turmoil, go to Windows Update. That is where I get the newest drivers, when I build a T 20. It's a LOT quicker than searching IBM(Lenovo)'s site.

Oh, I didn't know what it (the lower button) did, either.
