As already answered to Vaveud and JollyRoger I can't use a normal 
trackpad - not even a normal mouse will do for me. I only have 
Kensington trackballs, which I mostly can use - also using the palm of 
my hand(s).

Therefore I normally use the scroll-ring inline in texts and windows, 
but this isn't always usable when using the scanner software mentioned 
below. - As I read the possibilities in Lion you can only set the 
scrollbar scrolling to either 'jump to mouse point' or 'jump to 
next/previous page'...

Unfortuantely that won't do. It's moe applications that I need to runa 
alongside with the use of TTS with multi-lingual voices from a Brother 
pro network scanner. Both 10.5.x and 10.6.x are supported in the scanner 
software, but none of the voices I need are usalbe in neither systems.
