    I have an Asus U50F and I'm pretty sure I've downloaded all the drivers I need. Is there one for the function keys? The brightness, and wireless function keys work but none of the volume controls do. Is there another driver I need?

    AFAIK, function keys require something like ATKOSD. Should be in your driver DVD. Try installing that.

    Hotkeys require "ATK Hotkey" to be installed. ATKOSD displays stuff you your screen when you use those function hotkeys, so it's useful too. Also, make sure you install the ATKDrv itself as well.

    As for the touchpad, make sure that the touchpad driver is installed (Synaptics?) and then go to config of your touchpad and make sure the scrolling is enabled.
