Anyone having trouble navigating in Blender with asus elan touchpads?

Hey folks,

Just got an asus taichi after owning a macbook for a while. I was surprised to find that blender was not acting the same. On my mac, when I do a two-finger scroll, it rotates the view, and when I do shift+two fingers, it pans the view.

On my this new laptop, it acts like it would with a desktop + a mouse: to rotate I have to click the middle mouse button (in my case, left-click+alt) and move it, and to pan I do this +shift.

This seems like an unnecessary number of keys to be pressing when I have scrolling functionality built into the touchpad. Does anyone here use blender? Anyone having a similar problem? I'm prepared to dive into the registry, but I'm not sure what I'd be changing. I've tried a couple different driver versions.

Any help would be appreciated! I've tried posting in blender-specific forums and haven't had much luck.

 

Sounds like nothing out of the ordinary. If you're not sure what to change in the registry, I don't recommend you poke around in there! Applications will invariably function differently across different operating systems.

If you do decide to play with the registry, either create a restore point first or back it up first (or both).

 

Hmm, not sure that's true-- it definitely doesn't behave this way on other laptops. I'm just trying to get it to work how it does on my last computer.

For now, I'd be happy to find anyone who uses blender on an ASUS to confirm/disconfirm that this happens for them.
