TouchPad Pointing Device

The TouchPad pointing device may come built into your
Fujitsu LifeBook notebook. It is used to control the
movement of the pointer to select items on your display
panel. The TouchPad is composed of a cursor control
and a left and right button. The cursor control works the
same way a mouse does, and moves the cursor around
the display. It only requires light pressure with the tip of
your finger, and the more pressure you use, the faster the
cursor will move. The left and right buttons function the
same as mouse buttons. The actual functionality of the
buttons may vary depending on the application that is
being used. (Figure 2-16)
P O I N T
An external mouse can be connected to either the
USB or PS/2 port on your LifeBook notebook, and be
used simultaneously with the TouchPad. However, if
you boot the system with an external mouse connected
the TouchPad will be disabled or enabled depending on
your BIOS settings. Also, if the Infrared Mouse is
enabled, your PS/2 external device will be disabled.
(See BIOS Setup Utility on page 35 for more informa-
tion)
