    I have been reading in a few different forums about some different drivers for the alps touch pad. On the dell forum there is a driver for there alps touchpad that enables a few multi-touch commands (swiping back to move the browser back for example). I was wondering if anybody has tried installing different drivers on the Z and if it gave us some more features. Just thought it could be fun to try and see if we could get more features for nothing.

    Going back and forewards in IE is supported by the native Alps driver.

    Have a good look at the settings - it'll give you possibly some of what you want.

    I don't know...

    Oh, and you can configure the right side to offer scrolling and the lover one to offer sideways scrolling. (native driver)
