2.4 APM -supported ThinkPad does not enter Standby or Hibernation when
computer is docked
Models:
ThinkPad models 760XD, 765D/L, and 770
Issue:

Standby or Hibernation.

2.5 After undocking the ThinkPad computer from a docking station or port
replicator, the TrackPoint does not function if external pointer device
is attached to docking station
Models:
All ACPI-supported ThinkPad models
Issue:
After hot or warm-undocking my ThinkPad computer from a docking station
or port replicator, the TrackPoint pointer device does not function
Cause:
This is by design of the computer hardware. If the ThinkPad computer is
turned-on with an external pointer device attached to the docking station and
the BIOS setting for the TrackPoint pointer device is enabled as "auto-
disabled", undocking the computer without the external pointing device
results in the TrackPoint device being disabled. The "auto-disable" setting
automatically disables the TrackPoint device if a pointer device is connected
to the external-input-device connector when the computer starts.
Resolution:
To allow the TrackPoint pointer device to function after undocking, without
having an external pointer device attached, follow these instructions:
When the TrackPoint device is enabled to "Enable", after undocking the
computer, the TrackPoint device will function as expected even if an external
pointing device is not attached to the system.
