touchpad pointing device operation which
you can adjust.

Buttons – This lets you set up the buttons for
right or left handed operation and set the
time interval for double clicking.
■
Pointers – This lets you set up the size and
shape of the cursor for different functions.
■
Motion – This lets you set up the relation
of the speed of motion of your finger to the
motion of the cursor and to enable a trailing
tail for the cursor arrow.

of mouse being used. It is already set for your

adjustments until you find a combination that
is comfortable for you.
