Getting Started 65 Using external display devices NOTE Because the TouchPad is much smaller than the display screen, moving your cursor across the screen often means having to move your finger several times across the TouchPad in the preferred direction. Once you have positioned your cursor, you can click it into place by either double-tapping the TouchPad or clicking the control buttons. Scrolling with the TouchPad™ There are two active regions on the TouchPad™ that allow you to scroll as you would with any wheel device on a mouse or trackball. To scroll vertically, run your finger up or down along the right edge of the TouchPad. To scroll horizontally, run your finger along the bottom edge of the TouchPad. This feature can be disabled or changed in the Mouse Properties dialog box. Control buttons When a step instructs you to click or choose an item, move the cursor to the item, then press and release the primary (left-hand) button. To double-click, press the primary button twice in rapid succession. The primary button usually corresponds to the left mouse button. The function of the secondary (right-hand) button depends on the program you are using. It usually corresponds to the right mouse button ("right-clicking"). Check your program's documentation to determine whether it uses the right mouse button. Disabling or enabling the TouchPad™ The TouchPad™ is enabled by default. To change the enable/disable TouchPad setting, press Fn + F9. This hot key enables/disables the TouchPad. For more information, see "Disabling or enabling the TouchPad" on page 183. Using external display devices Your computer comes with a built-in display, but you can also connect an external display device to an available video port via the RGB (monitor) port Before connecting an external monitor or video projector, configure your computer for the type of device you are connecting. To do this, refer to the documentation for your operating system and devices.
