Subject: [haiku] "two finger scrolling"?
One thing that has just started working with the latest builds is
the trackpad on my laptop. (It was completely erratic before -- freezing
randomly, unlike the perfectly good USB mouse.)Â So I'm actually using
it now. One feature has me baffled, though: what is "two-finger scrolling"?
If I enable it and try to put two fingers on the pad, the cursor just locks
in place until I lift one of the fingers. The Users Guide didn't help much.
Please someone explain its intended function...
Thanks,

Hi Pete,
dedicated scrolling areas at the right and the bottom. See this image:
http://tinyurl.com/ahaeg46 (there are also more gestures, see
http://tinyurl.com/a5cl8j2 ). At least for me, that way of scrolling
looks really superior, and I got used to it within hours after unpacking
and installing my new lappy a few months back. Now it actually feels
somewhat uncomfortable when I'm using my older laptop or my gf's one,
where it doesn't work. :)
Hope this helps,
Rimas

Ah, thanks. Makes sense, now.
Unfortunately -- despite this being a brand-new laptop -- it doesn't
seem to work properly here. My second finger sort of causes scrolling,
but the window always returns to its original state when I lift the finger.
The 'tap' feature also seems to be a bit erratic still, so maybe there's
still some incompatibility.
Oh well. I still tend to prefer the (wireless) mouse with its scroll-wheel
anyway.

Newer touchpads allow you to scroll using two fingers instead of usingthe trackpad on my laptop. (It was completely erratic before -- freezing
