    I miss the thinkpad ultranav like navigation on my 6910p. The top row of buttons on my T400 for example had three buttons (left, scroll, and right) so hitting the pointing stick down or up and scroll will scroll up or down the webpage.

    Can I edit commands in windows or download a program that will allow me to 'scroll' when I hold the left button and and move the pointing stick in any direction?

    In the synaptics trackpoint settings there is an option to change either one of the buttons to a scroll initiator for the trackpoint.

    There goes my right click button... :(
