Just got a D800 with the port replicator. Got some problems.
1) The Alps touchpad is very imprecise - it reacts slowly (delay from my
finger moves to the pointer moves), and sometimes moves small jumps
backwards. I have optimized all the possible settings, but the performance
is way below that of my previous touchpads (synaptics)
2) If I attach a mouse (USB) to the port replicator, the mouse movement is
not smooth and inaccurate. It is OK if it is connected directly to the PC
3) If I connect the mouse to the PS/2 port of the replicator it works find,
but if I switch between my to PCs using my KVM switch, the mouse moves
erratically on the D800 when I switch back to that. I have never experienced
that before with my other PC's or laptops - so I suspect it is the port
replicator.
Have anyone else the same experiences?
If this can't be solved, I must insist on getting my money back, since it is
useless for serious work - especially considering the fair amount of money I
have paid for this machine.
Sincerely
Morten
