<p>You can scroll using your touchpad using two fingers.</p>

<item><p>Click the icon at the very right of the <gui>menu bar</gui> and select
65
<gui>System Settings</gui>.</p></item>

<gui>Two finger scroll</gui>.</p></item>
72
<p>Select <gui>Edge scrolling</gui> under <gui>Scrolling</gui> to
73
scroll using the edge of your touchpad. When this is selected, dragging
74
your finger up and down along the right side of your touchpad will
75
scroll vertically. If you also select <gui>Enable horizontal
76
scrolling</gui>, dragging your finger left and right along the
77
bottom of your touchpad will scroll horizontally.</p>
80
<p>When this is selected, tapping and dragging with one finger will work as
81
normal, but if you drag two fingers across any part of the touchpad, it will
82
scroll instead. If you also select <gui>Enable horizontal scrolling</gui>, you
83
can move your fingers left and right to scroll horizontally. Be careful to space
84
your fingers a bit apart. If your fingers are too close together, they just look
85
like one big finger to your touchpad.</p>

<note><p>Two-finger scrolling may not work on all touchpads.</p></note>
