    Try updating your synaptics drivers.

    Using a trackpad for gaming? You crazy. Buy a mouse.

    I'm having the same problems. For games I use a mouse, but for the rest, the track pad. Sometimes when I move the finger over the track pad, is like the track freeze and I need to change the pressure (or finger) to recover the sensitivity. I tried tweaking the sensitivity and palm check threshold trough the synaptic driver. Changing this two parameters I solved partially the problem, but still persist. This frustrating situation happens to me with asus drivers or synaptic drivers for the track pap.

    Also, I disabled both the pinch to zoom and rotate features, only using two finger scroll (with synaptic driver). Even disabling the two finger scroll feature, the problem persists. Sometimes is like the track pointer goes in the opposite direction than i move over the track.

    Gary, any light about this?

    For some machines there was an IRQ conflict between the touchpad and the keyboard. Updating to Bios 209 (not 211), eliminates the conflict......and I personally believe the Mouse+Keyboard combo is better than anything else that's currently in the market.

    I do wish they added that little joystick button that ibm has. I really found those very useful. Or perhaps a marble mouse at the side would be nice too.
