Actually, I'd be interested in what people have to say on this as well. Mine has a button that disables the touchpad (such a nice feature) but once in a while the pad resets and I lose the scrolling abilities. I figure if someone here knows where to point Bob for a CLI solution, it might help me figure my problem out as well.
