Add Touchpad scrolling?

Go to www.synaptics.com and download the latest driver. It will allow you to scroll horizontally and vertically, even if your touchpad doesn't have a scrolling zone. I tried it on my old Sony, which doesn't have a scroll area, and it allowed me to scroll both vertically and horizontally...Of course, I'm not sure it'll work if you have an Alps touchpad, but it's worth a shot.

Dell D610 has ALPS Hardware and may not work well with a Synaptics Driver, as much as I like Synaptics and their web support.

HERE is the ALPS Driver for your hardware

This was a major improvement for ALPS Drivers.

Check out the "Auto Scroll" after you load it

actually the synaptics driver works better than the dell alps driver, you can scroll etc and even disable the touchpad, something the alps drive cant do, alps sucks IMO, they should just go out of business

I even switched from Dell to Sony VAIO for the Synaptics TouchPad, but now Sony has also gone ALPS.

Couple years ago, Synaptics told me that HP was the only company "Exclusively Synaptics Equipped".

Dell Sales has no clue on brand of TouchPad/GlidePoint installed, you have to check latest Synaptics Drivers on the Dell Product Support Download site and click the "system this is for..." box to see which is what.

Dells latest ALPS Driver is a quantum improvement over the previous versions, but unless you have a 'stick' installed, you don't get the 'disable' page and have to do it by cranking 'sensitivity' way down.

D800 BIOS Setup has options to turn touchpad off when external (USB or ps2) mouse is installed.

Edge Scrolling (Synaptics or ALPS) only seems to work in the horizontal mode on a very few applications, however the "Auto-Scroll" now offered on the ALPS will work any place that the Arrows (or Page up/dn) work.

The Synaptics Edge Scroll works a lot better than the ALPS, with "continuious" mode, but the Auto Scroll gives better control on setting speed exactly to your 'reading speed' and most importantly for me, ALPS Auto Scroll can be controled by my Bluetooth IntelliMouse.

I had no idea that ALL the Synaptics Features could be applied to an ALPS GlidePad/Point but that would be excellent.

The only thing I like less than ALPS is the Windows generic ps2 touchpad driver that you get if your Driver is gone
