    This is something I've only just noticed.

    The far right-hand side of the trackpad acts as a scroll-wheel.

    Apologies if this is a standard thing with trackpads, but I don't used them very often it was certainly new to me.

    Yeah I was surprised when I noticed it as well, but then a friend laughed at me when I told him, he said it's pretty standard for touch pads to have this:p

    the bottom of the touchpad is a horizontal scroll as well.

    You guys using the linpus OS or XP? I installed XP on my unit and after that the trackpad scrolling feature just "vanished". I tried installing the synaptics pointing device driver but it seems to be conflicting with something. My unit restarts so I uninstalled it. Any advice on how to get back the trackpad scrolling feature in XP? Thanks!
