Voila! Hacked Dell Drivers for U300s Cypress Trackpad

Following the stellar work of user imessage100, I have made a .REG hack file to go with the most recent Dell drivers.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY! I take NO responsibility for any mishaps that may occur.

Below is the code to add new features to your U300s Trackpad. Before you use it follow these instructions:

1. Download the Dell drivers located here
   
2. Install and restart your system as instructed
   
3. Open Start Menu and type 'regedit' into the search box. Run the registry editor that pops up
   
4. Go to 'File' in the menu and 'Export' a backup to your desktop. If anything goes wrong, or you don't like a particular change, you can load this and everything will return to its original state.
   
5. Copy this text into a blank txt file:
   
   
   Code:

   Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
   [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cypress TrackPad Driver\Buttons]
   "EnableBothButtonsGui"="1"
   
   [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cypress TrackPad Driver\Defaults]
   "EnableBothButtonsGui"="1"
   "InertialScrollEnable"="1"
   "TapZonesEnableGui"="1"
   "TwoFingerRightTapClickGui"="1"
   
   [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cypress TrackPad Driver\Physical]
   "TapZonesEnableGui"="1"
   "TwoFingerRightTapClickGui"="1"
   
   [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Cypress TrackPad Driver\Scroll Settings]
   "InertialScrollEnable"="1"
   
   [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cypress TrackPad\Driver\ControlPanelEnables]
   "EnableBothButtonsGui"="1"
   "InertialScrollEnable"="1"
   "TapZonesEnableGui"="1"
   "TwoFingerRightTapClickGui"="1"
   
   [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Cypress TrackPad Driver\Physical\ControlPanelST]
   "InertialScrollEnable"="1"
   

6. Save the file as anything you like, but with a .reg extension, rather than a .txt. DON'T DO THIS IN MICROSOFT WORD AND OTHER ANNOYING WORD PROCESSOR PROGRAMS. Just use notepad or similar.
   
7. Double click the file and accept 'yes' to add the information to your registry
   
8. Restart your machine
   

If you now load up your mouse options, you should see a whole bunch of new GUI features, including:

• both buttons gui
  
• tap zones
  
• two finger right tap gui
  
• inertial scrolling (no gui, but it is enabled)
  

Lastly, you run this .reg file at your own risk, I can take NO responsibility for any mishaps that may occur. It all worked fine on my U300s, but I can't take credit if you screw up somewhere along the way. Sorry to be blunt, but...

Enjoy!

If anyone finds any other useful/exciting options lurking in the registry, add them here and we can build up the .reg hack file together.

Let's hope we won't need to keep hacking for much longer and Lenovo pull their proverbial fingers out of their lazy butt.

 

p.s. I don't think Inertial Scrolling actually works. Any ideas?
