To configure pointing devices.
Two pointing devices (pointing stick and touch pad) are built into your OmniBook.
The default pointing device driver supports the enhanced features of the pointing
stick and basic features of the touch pad.
You can customize the OmniBook to support enhanced touch pad features. If you do
this, keep in mind that you are selecting enhanced features for the touch pad only.
You cannot activate enhanced features for both simultaneously.
1. Pointing stick (pressure-sensitive pointing device).
2. Touch pad (touch-sensitive pointing device).
3. Click buttons (two above and two below the touch pad).
Both pointing devices use these click buttons, which work like the left and right
buttons on a standard mouse. What the buttons do depends on the software
being used.
To use the built-in pointing devices
1. Place your hands in the typing position.
2. Pointing stick. With your index finger, press the pointing device in the direction
you want the pointer to move. Pressing away from you moves the pointer up the
screen; pressing toward you moves the pointer down the screen.
Touch pad. Move a thumb or finger across the touch pad in the direction you
want the pointer to move.
3. Use the left and right click buttons, which function like the left and right buttons
on a mouse, to make your selection.

button twice rapidly.
To make menu selections, move the pointer to the item and press the left
button once.
