Cursor moves when in tablet mode (screen touching the pointing stick on an X220T)

Hi there,
when I put my X220T in tablet mode, the screen moves just enough to move the pointing stick in the middle of the keyboard to cause the cursor to move. I can't rest my hand on the screen without causing the cursor to move all the way accross the screen.
Am I missing a driver that would disable the nub when the screen is turned over it, or is this a design oversight? I've got the latest BIOS.
Cheers,
Kimmo

  • Two "cursors" when in tablet mode

    X61 tablet, Windows 7, RC1, 64 bit. , pdfannotator, onenote, office
    When using the the tablet in tablet mode (screen folded down), I often will get two cursors on the screen when the pen is near or on it.  This happens in various application software, but usually begins after using the eraser, or the flyout keyboard and tablet input menu. 
    The extra cursor appears above, and to the right of the actual cursor. Actual cursor being a pen tip "dot" while the extra cursor is a random symbol, ranging from another offset dot, to a very dark right click ring, to a very dark hourglass, to an i-beam shaped bar.  It happens immediately when using grahl's pdf annotator, but has showed up in other programs as well including onenote, after using the flyout input panel in word, and a number of other programs. 
    I'm certain it has something to do with the tablet multitouch drivers, escpecially since the drivers for 7 seem to be a wacom dual-touch driver not designed specifically for the X61.  Anyone else run into this trouble and come across a solution?

    This is what Microsoft Support told me to do, and it worked, but I am stuck with a boring standard mouse cursor in Windows (no special Tablet PC cursors - for right click, etc.)
    Step 1:
    1. Open Local Group Policy Editor:Run... gpedit.msc
    2. Navigate to User Configuration - Administrative Templates - Windows Components - Tablet PC - Cursors
    3. Enable the Turn off pen feedback setting.
    Step 2:
    Go to Control Panel. Double click on Mouse. Find "Mouse Properties"
    Go to "Pointer Options". Put a check mark in the "Display Pointer trails"
    Slide the bar over to "short". Apply the changes and then restart PDF Annotator.
    I'm awaiting Microsoft's reply as to whether there is some way to keep my original cursors without having the PDF Annotator problem.

  • Yoga 2 Pro - Black screen when on tablet mode

    Hi,
    2 weeks Yoya 2 pro out of the box, and get a black screen when reaching the tablet mode (back of the lid touching the back of the laptop base).
    I try hanged the setting under power management, with no success. When reaching the tablet mode, I get the same result as closing the lid in laptop mode.
    I connect my Yoga 2 to a TV through the HDMI and can see the screen and interact with the black screen (not easy to touch the right spot).
    My bios is updated and I have Windows 8.1.
    Any suggestion???

    I found the answer to my problem at
    http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Idea-Windows-based-Tablets-and/Yoga-2-Bios-Update-Crash/m-p/1322487/high...
    Now that I found that post I do recall the instructions telling me to turn it off manually when I updated the bios earlier this year. However, the current instructions do not mention it at all, perhaps they should be updated?

  • Yoga 2-11 Onscreen Keyboard won't stay up when in tablet mode

    I have seen many topics about the onscreen keyboard not staying on when in tablet mode but most of it from 2013. I am having this problem and I cannot find a solution. I have to go to laptop mode to sign in and then go back to tablet mode. The keyboard pops up but as soon as it does it goes away.  What is the fix? Yoga 2-11 purchased Dec 2014 from Best Buy.

    Thank you for your swift suggestion! I think it has worked I will monitor it for a couple of days

  • When keying a green screen shot, the image being keyed goes a little out of focus when the effect is applied. How do you keep it sharp?

    When keying a green screen shot, the primary image goes slightly out of focus when the effect is placed.  What am I doing wrong??

    Make a letterbox in Photoshop -two black stripes and a hole in the middle, place it on a higher video track.

  • Yoga 2 13 Tablet Screen turns off when in Tablet Mode

    I just bought my Yoga 2 13, when I flip it to Tablet mode, the screen turns off. Apparently it goes to sleep. When I open it it turns on again. Do I need to do any adjustments? or is this a defect?

    Try updating your drivers first: http://mobilesupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/lap​tops-and-netbooks/yoga-series/yoga-2-13-notebook-l​...
    If that does not help, try a factory reset:
    1. Turn off your Yoga 2 13
    2. Press the tiny button next to the power button on the right
    3. Follow instructions to perform a factory reset
    If none of the above attempts have helped you, it is probably a hardware issue.

  • Revolve 810 G1 Unlock Computer when in Tablet Mode. Press CTRL-ALT-DEL or Windows Security Button

    1.  I have an Revolve 810 G1
         Running Windows 7 Pro (64 Bit).
    When I change the screen to Tablet Mode
      (Folding tablet over keyboard and using as tablet).
    I lock my computer.
    2.  What to know how to unlock without having to Open back up and use the CTL-Alt-DEL keys.
    When Locked screen shows:  Press CTRL-ALT-DEL or use the Windows Security Button to unlock this computer.
    I would like to use the Windows Button on the bottom of the screen
       (One Used in Windows 8 to change between Desktop and Metro) to Unlock screen And bring up on screen keyboard to put in my password.
    This is probably how it should work, but it does not work.
    Even bringing up the onscreen keyboard via the blue power button On the screen to Ease Of Access does not work.
    The CLT-ALT-DEL on the on screen keyboard will not unlock the screen.
    P.S.
    Where is that Windows Security Button when you need it? 
    Thanks,
    Rog

    If you are using Windows 7 (not Windows 8), you should be able to touch the Ease of Access button at the lower left of the screen, then select Type without the keyboard (On-screen keyboard). When the on-screen keyboard pops-up, press CTRL, then ALT, then DEL. You should get a password prompt; the on-screen keyboard will stay visible unless and until you close it.

  • How to shut down when in Tablet mode

    Hi guys out there in Lenovo-land
    Just got an S10 3T and trying to get used to it.
    I mainly want to use it as an in-car GPS/communications system, and the best option is to make a framework to fit in the car in Tablet form. The only problem I have so far is not knowing how I can shut the computer down when in Tablet.
    I have put the tool bar on the right and made it disappear when not in use so I can maximise map area on the screen. But with the touch function on the screen, I can't activate the tool bar with my finger (only the mouse) so I can't access the shutdown option.
    Can anyone advise how I can do this, and is it possible to create a desktop shortcut Icon to shut down.
    Thanks for any help

  • How do you disable text cursor movement when scrolling horizontally with a tilt wheel or touchpad; or rather, how do you make these horizontal scrolling actions only scroll horizontally and nothing else?

    Frequently when I use a touchpad or tilt wheel mouse to scroll horizontally, the web page does not scroll at all. Instead, the text cursor moves left or right. If the text box is off-screen, the page will jump to it, losing the spot on the page I was reading. This happens way too often given the sensitivity of touchpads and tilt wheel mice.
    I'd like to just disable the cursor movement function of the horizontal scroll. I don't feel that it is useful and it actually hurts my web browsing experience. I do not want to disable horizontal scrolling though; I just want it to always scroll horizontally and do nothing else.

    You would make this a little easier if you posted a link to the page.
    Most of the jump seems to be some extra padding or margin between the tabs  when you rollover, but I am not able to find it.  Is there any other css that is governing this page? I did remove a couple of <p></p> set of tags you had  and it improved the jump, but it is still there.
    If the page is live, run it through the validator http://validator.w3.org/ , fix whatever errors it finds, if you still have the jump, post a link to the page and the issue might get found.

  • When making an movie with iMovie from photos, some photos seems to move when watching on a screen. Too much light ? Too much white ?

    When making a movie with iMovie from Photos, some of them seems to move when watching on screen or TV.
    It seems to be a brillance problem but I tried to make the light or the blank lower without result.

    Hello
    The movement you see on photos in iMovie is most likely the Ken Burns motion effect, which you can modify or turn off.

  • Having in proper cursor movement when view the discoverer output

    Hi all,
    When I try to view the discoverer output in the discovere desktop by using the keyboard tab key to move from one column to another column, the data was not displayed properly. It is just like not enough memory, but if I used the mouse to scroll then it was ok. What is the problem then ??
    I am using discoverer 9i.
