[ltp] 760XL Mouse cursor drifting

[Rob Bell]

I think it recalibrates quite often, it just happens to be noticed 
(drift) more frequently in some conditions.  I'm not sure what those 
conditions are, but I think they are related to the amount and type of 
mouse use.  I know that my A21p will never drift if I have an external 
mouse plugged in (and therefore am not using the TrackPoint), even 
though the TrackPoint is still active and usable.  I think that slow, 
even movements may be more likely to cause recalibration and drifting, 
but it's just a guess.
