    Hello All -

    Just received my X61 last week and I love it. I don't think I mind missing a track pad... but one thing that would be convenient is side-to-side scrolling. Pressing the scroll button (in between the left and the right mouse buttons) only allows for vertical scrolling on a page or document. Is there any way to map the function of this button so that I could also scroll horizontally (with the mouse) while the button is pressed?

    EDIT: problem fixed before I even posted this... ha

    In the trackpad options under mouse properties (in Vista) if you select smooth scrolling rather than the standard scrolling, this side-to-side scrolling functionality becomes enabled. Hopefully this information helps someone out :)
