Lenovo Trackpoint Scrolling

[Ken Robertson]

Hello, I can't seem to get the scrolling feature on my Thinkpad laptop to work with Palemoon (it works fine with FF). I'm running W7 Pro x64 and I've tried all versions of Palemoon, with the exception of the x64 version - I'd rather run an x86 browser.

Comments, anyone?

TIA
Regards
Ken

The following information may help you. Taken from the Troubleshooting page on http://www.palemoon.org :

Scrolling with my touchpad doesn't work

This is caused by the fact that the touchpad drivers don't know Pale Moon, and require an entry for each individual supported application. Until the touchpad manufacturers support Pale Moon by themselves, there is a workaround:

Find the file tp4table.dat.
For Synaptics usually in %ProgramFiles%\Synaptics\SynTP
For Alps usually in %ProgramFiles%\Apoint2K

You may need to look for it in another location if you have a different manufacturer.

Open it with Notepad and add the following lines, make sure they are above the "Pass 1" rules:
; Pale Moon
*,*,palemoon.exe,*,*,MozillaWindowClass,WheelVkey,0,9
(optional) You can also add the extra lines below for additional scroll funtionality:
*,*,palemoon.exe,*,*,*,WheelStd,0,9
*,*,palemoon.exe,*,*,MozillaWindowClass,WheelStd,0,9
*,*,palemoon.exe,*,*,MozillaDropShadowWindowClass,WheelStd,0,9
*,*,palemoon.exe,*,*,MozillaUIWindowClass,WheelStd,0,9

Hi Moonchild;

Thanks for the reply. I had read over this, and actually attempted the fix, but was unable to find the file in question. Under closer investigation, I found the file, quite obviously located in C:\Program Files\Lenovo\TrackPoint

Thanks for the support

Cheers
