:?: Has anyone figured out how to use the thumb scanner in tablet mode to scroll Pages. I'm using an x200t vista 64.

I do not think that this is possible (I looked for the same answer awhile back). The closest thing would be reprogramming 2 of the tablet buttons for scrolling.

it is entirely "possible", as the sensor itself supports the feature.
Lenovo, on the other hand, castrates the driver to only perform logon functions.

If you have a upek authentication chip, then you can use Upek Protector Suite QL to enable the scroll function with thumb.
It's what I used a while ago.
