Trackpad mode
In the Trackpad mode, use the trackpad to perform all the actions, such as point, left-click, right-click,
and scroll.
You also can use the trackpad to perform a variety of touch gestures. For information about using touch
gestures, see "Trackpad touch gestures" on page 27.
If the trackpad surface is stained with oil, turn off the computer first. Then gently wipe the trackpad surface
with a soft and lint-free cloth moistened with lukewarm water or computer cleaner.
Classic TrackPoint mode
In the Classic TrackPoint mode, use the pointing stick to move the pointer, and use the trackpad to perform
other actions such as left-click, right-click, and scroll.
Note: Compared with the TrackPoint mode, the Classic TrackPoint mode enlarges the right-click zone so
that the right- and left-click zones on the trackpad are divided equally. However, the touch gestures are
disabled and cannot be used in the Classic TrackPoint mode.
