Overview
The Scrolling properties page allows you to customize the Virtual Scrolling capabilities of your TouchPad.
How do I use Virtual Scrolling?
In some applications, the scroll zones which activate Virtual Scrolling can be used for zooming too.
Zoom In/Out and Pan on Documents
The Synaptics TouchPad driver may also control other pointing devices attached to your system. If the Synaptics TouchPad driver is controlling more than one pointing device on your system, the Synaptics pages on the Mouse control panel will have a drop-down box listing all of the pointing devices that are controlled. You may set separate settings for each by selecting the appropriate device (settings which don’t apply to a particular pointing device will be grayed out).

Customizing Scroll Zone Sizes
This page includes a small map of the TouchPad with the scroll zones highlighted. See the Scroll Zone TouchPad Map for a more detailed description.
You can adjust the size of each zone by dragging one of the black resize handles on the TouchPad map. If you are having trouble activating the Virtual Scrolling feature, you might want to try making the scroll zones wider. If you find that scrolling sometimes gets activated when you didn’t mean to scroll, try narrowing the scroll zones.
Customizing Virtual Scrolling Speed
You can control the speed of Virtual Scrolling by adjusting the Scrolling Speed slider on this page. Drag the slider thumb to the right for faster scrolling.
