NEC VersaGlide
The NEC VersaGlide is a built-in mechanism that functions as the system’s mouse. It con-
trols the on-screen pointer (cursor). To use the VersaGlide, move your finger across the
NEC VersaGlide pad, and the cursor follows. The buttons below the NEC VersaGlide al-
low the user to select or deselect menu items. Tap and double-tap are supported on the
VersaGlide pad.
The PS/2 Microsoft mouse is the system’s default pointing device, driver for the NEC Ver-
saGlide. If an external mouse is installed, then the VersaGlide is deactivated. A serial
mouse is not supported.
