TouchPad and Buttons/Mouse
The TouchPad is a device for pointing (controlling input positioning) on the
computer’s display screen by sensing finger movement, and downward pres-
sure.
It is an alternative to the mouse, however, you can also add a mouse to
your computer either through the PS/2 interface, or one of the USB ports.
The TouchPad buttons function in much the same way as a two-button mouse.
The central button may be configured to function as you require (see
“Mouse
Properties” on page 2 - 22
for screen examples).

“What to Install” on
