Hey guys, I am not a big Mac fanboy or anything, I actualy dislike Leopard but if theres something I like from leopard and macbook pros its the touchpad. I like how you can zoom or scroll up and down a website simply by doing combinations with your fingers instead of having to point an dclick the downward arrow of the browser.
So heres my question. Ive heard horrible things about the m15x touchpad, everyone says it sucks. Is there a scroll function in the touchpad? maybe a combination of finger movements or something? or am I stuck with good old downward arrow in my keyboard.
thanks

In the setting menu you can set both vertical and horizontal scrolling. The zones are on the right side and the bottom of the touchpad.

I also heard that synaptics released, or is releasing a multi-touch driver that would give you "similar" gestures as the macbook pro pad. I am currently trying to find the information for you.
edit: Here is what I have found so far. I thought I heard there is an actual driver already, but I am not sure about compatibility.
