    The only thing I've really tried is Firefox, but my horizontal scroll on the touchpad doesn't work.
    The vertical is fine, but nothing for sideways action!?

    I have the same problem, it will only scroll vertically on the touchpad. I haven't looked into an fixes just because I mainly use a mouse and when I do need the touchpad whatever websites I go to, never seem to require horizontal scrolling.

    I really only need it for the threads with big pictures (the desktop thread for eg), and I never had it before so it doesn't really matter...
