Configuring the Touchscreen
You may want to configure the touchscreen to suit your needs. For
example, if you are a left-handed user, you can swap the two buttons
function of the left mouse-control button on the wireless keyboard so that
you can use the right mouse button as the left mouse button and vise
versa. You can also change the size of the on-screen pointer, the speed of
the pointer, and so on.
To configure the touchscreen, you can use the standard Microsoft or IBM
PS/2 driver if you are using Windows. However, you can install the
touchscreen driver supplied with your computer to take advantage of
more powerful features. (For information on installing the driver, see
“How to Use the CD” in Chapter 6.)
