    Hi, I tried so many different drivers and utilities and I still can't have two finger scrolling. I only have chiral motion. My hardware is a 6.2 synaptics touchpad through PS/2 port and LG notebook. Multi touch works well on Linux, but not on Windows. Any ideas or registry hacks? According to the synaptics diagnostics my touchpad has 220003 capabilities code.

    Seems like the touchpad on the LG notebook you have has been H/W customized by the manufacturer. If their specific drivers do not enable the features you seek (and seem to have on Linux) then you are out of luck.

    Maybe a future driver from LG will enable multitouch on the Windows side for you.

    Good luck (sorry I couldn't be of more help).
