That will not supress the 8811 trackpoint error on boot.

But something in the BIOS seems to disable the
trackpoint when a usb mouse is plugged in. This is on 600E.
I think that may be a result of the Trackpoint setting in the Thinkpad
Configuration options. On a 600 series machine, you have the option of
Disable, Enable, or "Auto-Disable".
Here is a copy of the Help text from the Thiinkpad Configuration help on
my
600X:
-----Beginning of selected help text-----
"TrackPoint - This option is for enabling or disabling the TrackPoint on
the
ThinkPad keyboard.
Select Enable (some models only) when you are using the TrackPoint only,
or
when you are using a standard PS/2 mouse attached externally to the PS/2
port.
Select Disable when you do not want to use the TrackPoint, but instead
use
an externally attached mouse on the serial port or a device that is not
compatible with the PS/2 mouse such as a scrolling mouse.
Select Automatic (some models only) when you want to use the built-in
TrackPoint, but then automatically disable TrackPoint when an external
mouse
is attached.
Select Auto-Disable (some models only) when you want to use the built-in
TrackPoint, but then automatically disable TrackPoint when an external
mouse
is attached (the Auto-Disable only occurs at power-on or reboot, so the
external mouse is not "hot attachable").
-----End of selected help text-----
