Touchpad; Touchpad Basics - Acer TravelMate C100 Service Manual

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
palmrest provides optimum comfort and support.
NOTE: When using an external USB or serial mouse, you can press Fn-F7 to disable the touchpad. If you are
using an external PS/2 mouse, the touchpad is automatically disabled
.

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 (1) and right (3) 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.
Use the 4-way scroll (2) button (top/bottom/left and right) to scroll a page up, down, left or right.
This button mimics your cursor pressing on the vertical and horizontal scroll bars of Windows
applications.
