Touchpad Basics
The following two items teach you how to use the touchpad:
Move your finger across the touchpad to move the cursor.
Press the left and right buttons located on the lower 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. See Table 2-7.

Click once When Corner Taps is enabled, tap
on the upper right corner of the
touchpad. See section 5.3 on how
to configure the touchpad.
Keep your fingers dry and clean when using the touchpad. Also
keep the touchpad dry and clean.
The touchpad is sensitive to finger movements. Hence, the
lighter the touch, the better the response. Tapping too hard will
not increase the touchpad’s responsiveness.
