    My new cf-19 mk4 running win7 seems to have a problem with the touchpad. It seems to operate inconsistently, sometimes just placing my fingertip lightly on the pad will cause the screen to scroll all the way down regardless of where the cursor is when this happens. Is there an update or patch available? Perhaps a change in the settings...any help would be great

    I remember myself, that there is an option in the synaptic tool, where u can set the border of the touchpad to react as a slider on the side and as permanent scrolling, if u reach the bottom or top of the touchpad...

    I just love it - dunno what it's called - autoscroll maybe?
    That's if we're talking about the same thing - normal scrolling works as usual but if I flick the R/H edge up or down lightly the screen speeds to the top or bottom - but a touch on the pad stops it anywhere I want. Faster I flick, faster it scrolls.
    Brilliant!
