    Well I have an Asus G50VT-X5 with the Synaptics 6.5 touchpad and I want to use the various multi touch features it has but I am not able to. I have tried multiple hacked drivers that are supposed to enable this.

    I also tried using the latest "LaptopVideo2Go" drivers for my touchpad.

    Any help/suggestions?

    Is your touch-pad multi-touch or does it support it?
    I would suggest you find if there are proprietary drivers, or if there are limitations, some touch-pads simply dont support, nor cant, the multi-touch feature.

    Don't if things have changed but I had trouble with hacked drivers because they weren't signed for x64 Vista.
