    hey all. do you lose scroll functionality after waking your laptop? i did. it was the elantech driver. it would also hog resources once in awhile too. about 80% of the cpu- enough for the fan to crank on high.

    totally annoying, so i uninstalled it. without a driver, windows lets me vertical scroll. also, went to mouse in control panel, maxed out rate and turned off accuracy- now mouse pointer flies fast like i like it. it's a bit inaccurate, but i'll get used to it.

    booya!

    what is odd.. i now have 3 jfl92's here since this one my mom got and the synaptics drivers do not work on any of these. i get no scrolling and no double click either.. i would have thought they used the same touchpad.. odd

    I agree, synaptics work perfectly.

    I don't use any drivers and it's OK, the only issue is lack of horizontal scroll (but vertical is OK).

    In mine IFL90 worked perfectly but I disabled it cuz it was driving me crazy as I would accidentally touch it and the pointer would fly, very annoying when you are wordprocessing.

    I didn't install any driver for touchpad coz I'm using bluetooth mouse. The windows one is doing it's job perfectly when needed.

    Doesn't the touchpad bothers you when you hover over it and the mouse moves?

    Nope, I haven't got this problem. After few weeks you get used to touchpad in the middle of your keyboard :)
