Like many on the forum, I haven't been able to use my laptop's touchpad for scrolling in Logos 4. I just updated the driver and now it's working beautifully. I have a Dell Studio XPS with Windows 7 64-bit, so I went to Dell's "drivers and downloads" site (where you go will depend on your laptop manufacturer, etc. - obviously).
The updated driver info is as follows:
Synaptics Driver
Version: 15.0.18
Date: 6/16/10 (this was the date listed on download site, but once installed the date read 4/22/10 - either way, it's newer than 2009)
Happy Scrolling!

Pardon my ignorance, but how do you scroll with a touch pad, what combination of things do you do? Trying to see if mine works or not...thanks!
I own a Sony Vaio and the scrolling worked out of the box. I just left and right click simultaneously.

I believe he's talking about stroking the edge of the trackpad in order to scroll along.
Sarcasm is my love language. Obviously I love you.
Dominick, you can scroll through webpages, documents, etc. by pressing and running your finger along the right edge of the touchpad (top to bottom). Try it first on a webpage or something to see how it works, then try it in Logos.

Yes, what Thomas wrote (above)...
Jerry M: I own a Sony Vaio and the scrolling worked out of the box. I just left and right click simultaneously.
Center click scrolling (achieved as you suggest by clicking L & R at the same time) is different than the above. It create's an Icon like this one which scrolls in the direction you move your mouse.
Thomas Black:I believe he's talking about stroking the edge of the trackpad in order to scroll along.
Oops! I thought synaptic referred to auto scrolling.

No worries. Synaptics is the hardware maker for a large number of trackpads. They then offer a predefined driver to OEM's who customize the drivers to fit their application. It just happens that AFAIK the Dell XPS driver was one of the first with a functioning side scroll/stroke capacity for WPF programs like L4.
Mike Waugh:Happy Scrolling!
I did get the update a few months back and was so geeked to be able to scroll with the touchpad . . . I share your enthusiasm! I still almost can't believe I can scroll with it--everytime I use it, i remember NOT being able to!
Anybody remember the problem in Libronix when scrolling with the touchpad would make all your highlights invisible? ahhh, golden days are indeed here!!
I like Apples. Especially Honeycrisp.
Thanks all....

The same here. Great to have it working.
