    i found a new synaptics driver that contains multitouch features that work on my p7805u. i havent tested it fully but the gestures feature works fine for me.
    anyway i uploaded the install for these drivers on mediafire. heres a link

    also these drivers are not just for the 7805u they should work on any laptop that has a synaptics touchpad.

    Wow the Scrybe is really cool and useful.
    I had to reinstall the newest synaptics touch drivers though, since my touchpad did not work after installing this version.

    Can we use this gestures to work with windows or gestures only work on scrybe ? One example maximising and minimising gestures that works for all applications?

    Am I missing something? I see a bunch of single-touch gestured shortcuts but no multi-touch operation like using two fingers to scroll and zoom.

    this gestures feature is pretty cool. cant say i'd use it much (given my setup) but handy nevertheless.

    thanks OP.

    After the installation of scrybe one annoying thing that i had was the side scroll that i could do from the edge of the track pad got shifted a lil towards the inner orange line. Thats very annoying as you have look at the track pad now. Even Uninstallation of scrybe didnt help. Only reinstallation of synaptic driver helped.
