6 Device Configuration and Setup 6.1 Some devices on APM ThinkPad systems may report resource conflicts due to default BIOS settings Models: All APM -supported ThinkPad models Issue: Cause: Resolution: On A PM ThinkPad models, some devices may report firmware resource conflicts errors (yellow exclamation mark with code 29 error) in Device Manager. The auto-rebalance functionality in Windows 2000 for APM systems does not work correctly for all devices and configurations. On APM -supported ThinkPad machines, the user can remove the errors by manually changing the resource settings for the device through the Device Manager under Windows 2000. 6.2 Cannot change PCI IRQ holder under Windows 200 0 using ThinkPad Configuration Utility or Notebook Manager Models: All ThinkPad models Issue: Cause: Resolution: The set value for PCI IRQ holding under Windows 2000 cannot be modified using the ThinkPad Configuration Utility. Even though this setting can be modified to either IRQ 10 or 11, any changes do not carry over after restarting the system. Even though there's an option to set the PCI IRQ holder to 10 or 11 through the ThinkPad Configuration Utility, Windows 2000 reset s this value to back to 9 when system reboots each time. Changing the IRQ holder intentionally is interpreted by the operating system as a meaningless operation. No action required. The user does not need to change the PCI IRQ holder other than the one the operating system sets automatically. 6.3 The ThinkPad Configuration Utility does not show audio deviceas enabled on ThinkPad 760 and 765 models although audio device is functioning properly Models: Issue: Cause: Resolution: All ThinkPad 760 and 765 models with Mwave Audio and Telephony functionality. The user cannot enable the audio support on their computer using the ThinkPad Configuration Utility (even though audio capability functions.) This is design limitation of the ThinkPad Configuration Utility. No action is required if your computer's audio device is functioning properly.
