TABLE NOTE: If you swap the left and right buttons, “tapping” on the Touchscreen as an alternative method of pressing the left mouse button will no longer be valid.

Configuring the Touchscreen

You may want to configure the Touchscreen to suit your needs. For example, if you are a left-handed user, you can swap the two buttons function of the left mouse-control button on the wireless keyboard so that you can use the right mouse button as the left mouse button and vise versa. You can also change the size of the on-screen pointer, the speed of the pointer, and so on.

To configure the Touchscreen, you can use the standard Microsoft or IBM PS/2 driver if you are using Windows. However, you can install the Touchscreen driver supplied with your computer to take advantage of more powerful features. (For information on installing the driver, see “How to Use the CD” in Chapter 6.)
