Using the OmniBook Pointing Devices

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 stick 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.

 

∙ To open an application, move the pointer over the icon, then press the left button

 

twice rapidly.

 

∙ To make menu selections, move the pointer to the item and press the left button

 

once.

 

∙ To open the shortcut menu for an item, move the pointer over the item and click

 

the right button.

 

∙ To drag an item, move the pointer over the item. Press and hold the left button

 

while you move the pointer to the new location. Release the button.

 

The default pointing device driver (PS/2 TrackPoint) supports the enhanced features of

 

the pointing stick and the basic features of the touch pad.

 

You can customize the OmniBook to support enhanced touch pad features (see the next

 

topic). 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.

 

To customize the operation of the touch pad or pointing stick, see the section “Using the

 

OmniBook Pointing Devices” in the online Reference Guide.

 

 

Windows 2000

Under Windows 2000, enhanced features for the pointing stick and touch pad are not

 

available at this time. Check the Customer Care website

 

(http://www.hp.com/cposupport/eschome.html) for PS/2 TrackPoint and touch pad

 

device drivers for Windows 2000. The default pointing device driver is the standard

 

PS/2 Compatible Mouse driver. To disable either pointing device, see “To run the BIOS

 

Setup utility” on page 62.
