touchpad speed

[Meta03]

Is it possible to change touchpad speed on a T61, so I don't have to cross it with my finger 3 times to get the pointer across the screen?

You go to "Control Panel", then choose "Mouse Properties", and finally "Pointer Options" where you can adjust the pointer speed. For the touchpad, I have found it utterly important to maximize its speed for it to work well. All slower settings are painful to use. You may have come across many touchpad haters on this forum, and I bet most of them just don't realize the importance of maximizing the pointer speed.
