    I used the drivers from my HP Envy 15 on the M11x, worked beautifully - two finger scroll, three finger swipe, chiral scroll. Use this version. The newer version Synaptics removed the ability to configure the four corners for custom actions (at least on my Envy 15).

    Link to HP's Synaptics driver HERE. Make sure you uninstall all prior versions first.

    Using the latest Synaptics driver, I've been using two finger scroll. However just a moment ago it stopped working completely. It was still enabled in the driver settings, and disabling/re-enabling it didn't work. I had to reboot in order to get it going again.

    Strange...
