Laptop Scroll Bar Won't Work With Opera?

[en480c4]

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!

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.

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.

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.
