Figure 14. PS/2 Device submenu

The PS/2 Device submenu consists of a Hotplug checkbox (enabled by default) and an Internal Pointing Device section.

When Hotplug is checked, PS/2 devices can be plugged in -- and will be recognized -- while the system is running. When Always Disable or Manual Setting are selected in the Internal Pointing Device section, the Hotplug selection cannot be selected.

The Internal Pointing Device section consists of four selections:

Always Enable

When selected, the internal pointing device (touchpad) is enabled whether or not a PS/2 device is attached.

Always Disable

When selected, the internal pointing device (touchpad) is never enabled.

Auto Disable

When selected, the internal pointing device (touchpad) is disabled automatically when a PS/2 device is attached.

Manual Setting

When selected, the internal pointing device (touchpad) operation is determined by desktop selection.

LID submenu

The LID submenu allows you to determine what action the system takes when the lid is opened and closed.

There are two selections on the LID submenu:

Lid Closure Suspend:

This is enabled by default. When it is enabled, the system will go into Suspend mode automatically when the lid is closed. When it is disabled (unchecked), the system will continue to run when the lid is closed.

Lid Open Resume:

This is enabled by default. When it is enabled, the system will automatically resume operation when the lid is opened. When it is disabled (unchecked), the system requires user intervention in order to resume (by pressing the On/Off button).
