    Hi,

    is there a driver at all which enables multi touch in the touch pad i.e two finger scrolling?

    or is it a two fingers up ? Thanks :D

    two finger scrolling?

    I thought the only multitouch function was pinching (for zooming in and out)

    2 finger scroll, zoom, rotate, 3-finger flick for browsing.

    for some reason when i install the latest synaptis drivers...the installtion goes through but nothing changes even after a restart...synaptics drivers dont appear anywhere (not even in uninstall programs section). Also there's no function at all..no scrolling no pinch nothing.

    When i go to install it again it installs really quickly and then tells me that everything is ready for use...but really its not...what gives?

    After you download the driver (the one from dell on the driver thread) and install it via the setup file..inside the folder theres a "WinWDF" folder. Open it and then choose x64 (assuming you're on 64 bit) and then install "dpinst"

    after you do that and it installs and you restart..right click it and go to options and then the Device settings tab and then the settings button..now you can configure more for your touchpad then you ever thought possible....enjoy
