Additional Scrolling Features -- Has anyone enabled these?

A bunch of us are new to Opera 10.51, and we like what we see so far...

...However, there are two issues that are bugging us a bit.

1) For touchscreens, Firefox's Grab-and-Drag plugin has kinetic scrolling and momentum, both of which seem to be unavailable in Opera. It takes a lot more effort to scroll using a touchscreen in Opera, as opposed to Firefox. Has anyone in the dev community enabled kinetic scrolling and stronger momentum in Opera?

If not, is there a way I can 'multiply the scrolling strength' by having Opera scroll more of a page with a shorter finger movement?

2) Some of my colleagues are ThinkPad users, and like that Opera has improved support for pointing sticks / TrackPoint. The only issue left is that they cannot scroll left-right -- only up-down scrolling is supported. has anyone overcome this limitation?

Thanks for your help! In the meantime, I'll continue to search Google for answers...

Have you tried increasing how many lines it scroll in mouse settings?

I know that it won't be the same, but you could give it a try.

Just got myself a tablet PC. Is there any update on scrolling functionality? If not I'll have to switch to Firefox until this is sorted out. My main reason for buying a tablet is infact to be able to scroll webpages with my finger like on my WinMo phone...

That issue has been addressed several times here on these forums, but alas without being fixed.
The horizontal scrolling worked OK on Thinkpads up to version 8.54 - and then it disappeared :-(
