v6j touchpad

I've been getting everything setup the way I like it on my new v6j. So I wanted to turn on the touchpad tap to click setting and side to side scrolling. As it turns out, I can't seem to get these to work. Here's what I've done so far:

1. Get rid of the Synaptic driver (ie use the Microsoft standard mouse drivers). When I do this, I do get to tap to click, but obviously I lose all other Synaptic features.

2. I downloaded the latest driver from synaptic.com - which is actually an older driver (8.1.2) than Asus provides (8.2.0). These different drivers make no difference.

3. I deleted the whole mouse (in the device manager), and let windows rediscover it, reinstall, etc. No luck.

Any ideas out there?

Thanks,
Erik

 

I do not understand exactly what is the problem.

If your problem is that you can't tap to click, then the solution is to decrease palm check to minimum (i.e., disable).

Another problem that I discovered in the Synaptics driver is that it gets the geometry of the touchpad wrong. I.e., vertical Edge Motion (cursor continuing to move when you run out of vertical touchpad area) didn't work, and the reason was that the default vertical edges were outside the actual area of the touchpad and thus were never reached. I had to double their height in order to make the feature work.

Does this solve (part of) your problem? If not , please clarify.

 

EBE-
Thanks for your suggestion on the palm check...that solved my tap to click issue...I hadn't even considered that to be a potential problem-causer.

Regarding the amount of space required for the side-to-side scrolling...bingo! You're right again.

Thanks for your help...very quick and you hit the target.
