Using the GlidePoint
The GlidePoint consists of a GlidePoint surface and two buttons. The surface acts
as a representation of the notebook display.
Moving the Cursor
When you slide a fingertip across the GlidePoint surface, the cursor on the display
moves in the same direction across the display.
Clicking the Buttons
The two buttons in front of the GlidePoint are used like the left and right buttons
on a standard mouse. Press or double-press a button to execute a left or right
mouse click or double-click. You can also simulate a button click by lightly
tapping once on the GlidePoint surface, or twice for a double-click.
Using an Alternative Device
Optionally, you can connect an external pointing device to your notebook through
the PS/2 port or the serial port. You can use the Advanced page in the Setup
utility to disable the built-in GlidePoint if you prefer. It is not necessary, however,
to disable the GlidePoint even when you have connected a PS/2 mouse.
