Trackpad scroll

mattjones · Jul 19, 2008

This is something I've only just noticed.

The far right-hand side of the trackpad acts as a scroll-wheel.

Apologies if this is a standard thing with trackpads, but I don't used them very often it was certainly new to me.

Yeah I was surprised when I noticed it as well, but then a friend laughed at me when I told him, he said it's pretty standard for touch pads to have this

Mark83 · Jul 19, 2008

yes, that's really standard

a bit tooooo standard if you ask me

You guys using the linpus OS or XP? I installed XP on my unit and after that the trackpad scrolling feature just "vanished". I tried installing the synaptics pointing device driver but it seems to be conflicting with something. My unit restarts so I uninstalled it. Any advice on how to get back the trackpad scrolling feature in XP? Thanks!

that would be massively useful!

Take a look in the settings for trackpad, you will find CIRCULAR scrolling !!!!!!!
