Touchpad
The built-in touchpad is a PS/2-compatible pointing device that senses movement
on its surface. This means the cursor responds as you move your finger on the
surface of the touchpad. The central location on the palm rest provides optimum
comfort and support.
Note: When you connect an external PS/2 mouse, the computer
automatically disables the internal touchpad.
Touchpad basics
The following items teach you how to use the touchpad:
• Move your finger across the touchpad to move the cursor.
• Press the left and right buttons located on the edge of the touchpad to do
selection and execution functions. These two buttons are similar to the left
and right buttons on a mouse. Tapping on the touchpad produces similar
results.
