en480c4 Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 So, Firefox has been getting flakier and flakier on me, so I finally decided to give Opera a shot. It seems decent enough, and isn't having the page-loading issues Firefox had been having. But I'm having one major problem with it... I can't seem to get the scroll pad (next to the touch-pad) on my POS Gateway laptop to work. Using the space bar works, but is definitely less than ideal. And I can't find anything in the documentation to help. Has anyone else had this problem with the scroll pad & Opera? Thanks! Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkam Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 What version of opera are you running? I'm running one of the Opera 9 beta versions and the scroll pad on my Inspiron E1705 works fine with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
en480c4 Posted June 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 I had been running 8.5, but I just downloaded and installed 9 beta, and it still won't scroll with the scroll pad. I guess I'll stick with Firefox until I can get it worked out... the no scrolling is a deal-breaker for me. Stupid Gateway piece of shit.

en480c4 Posted June 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Well, I just updated my Synaptics touch pad drivers, and Opera seems to be working great. It's quite the change from Firefox, so I'm getting used to it. But at least it isn't flakey like Firefox had been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
