    Hello

    I am the new owner of a 522 netbook. I like it a lot so far, but I am having some issues with the touchpad. At first, I could not find it in device manager at all, and after trying the various drivers from Synaptic, Alps, and Elan, the Elan one finally stuck, so I assume that's the one I have.

    Now the problem I am having is that I have no 3 finger gestures in the configuration at all. I only have tapping and 2 finger gestures. The little touchpad icon in the system tray does notice when I put three fingers on it, so the 3 finger gestures should theoretically be possible.

    Another problem is that I want 2 finger horizontal scrolling, as shown in the demonstration video on the Elan web page. Or rather, 2 finger panning. I don't want to use the single finger horizonal scrolling at the bottom of the touchpad.

    I used the drivers on the Acer web page for this model, which is version 7.x, but I have also tried other acer drivers v8 and v10, and they didn't give me any 3 finger configs either.

    Thanks for any help
