unable to zoom on my new portable

I purchased a Samsung R580 portable, and it will not zoom the game without using a corded mouse. The onboard touchscreen emulates a 3rd button wheel by using two fingers. This works fine scrolling Firefox, for example. But in game, this functionality is ignored even though I see the mouse icon change to it's mousewheel form. The game also refuses to zoom when using a Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 3500. Again Firefox scrolls fine when the mousewheel is used, but the game zoom function ignores it. Depressing the mousewheel allows normal point-of-view rotation, however.

The only way I can get the game to zoom is to connect a corded mouse, in this case an HP mouse from an old computer.

it is not actually the wheel on the touch pad it is a (probably synaptic) driver that allows the scrolling. Toshiba has something similar with finger movements doing all sorts of neet tricks like pinch and zoom - I have never checked in game but you might be able to set your input device and see if you can map the zoom part. I think coh will ignore the synpatic driver of the touchpad and only register movement and button clicks.

If you can't get it to work, there is a work-around in the command /camdist X, where X is camera distance in feet.
Default is 10 I think.
