    Sorry it's been a while since I really geeked down, or posted on forums, or really played with any hardware. Anyways, I thought I rememebered reading that the m11x had a multitouch active touchpad, is there drivers to do 2 finger scrolling, etc?

    Download drivers from Synaptics for two finger scroll.

    See my post here. Works beautifully.

    There are newer versions of this Synaptics driver, but the newer version that I did try, it took away the ability to configure the four corners of the touchpad to do custom functions.

    Sorry I should have searched a little harder, up and running now, any advantage to the Scrybe driver? What is the difference?
