Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
I am using the Dell driver. It gives you multi gesture which I find convenient. However, I cannot get the horizontal scroll to work. But the veritical twirl is worth all the trouble.

by the way, just to update everybody on my situation:
My TT190 had an almost unusable trackpad. There was a certain region of the touchpad which had incorrect response, and by drawing lines in paint you could see it clearly. I made a video of my testing and posted it here: video. Drawing similar lines on any of my other notebooks with trackpads resulting in perfect lines, but on the sony you can see the result in the video.
I sent the notebook to sony service, who changed the trackpad and sent it back to me. But the new trackpad had almost the same problem! It was certainly a different trackpad because the pattern of the problem was different (and it was slightly better) but it was still poor. I sent it back to them again and insisted that they change it again which they did.
The third trackpad was MUCH better, but I still do notice one specific spot on the trackpad which still generates an unpredictable response and makes the trackpad worse the the trackpads on my other notebooks.
This is certainly not what I expected from one of the most expensive notebooks on the market. It shows that Sony and Alps have a serious quality control problem.

I've sent it in twice already.

It is a huge hassle for me to send it in because I spend most of my time overseas and the unit was bought in the US and there is no international warranty. (Lack of an international warranty is the other reason I will never buy another sony
)
When I sent it the first two times I sent it in the with the video of the problem that I posted earlier in this thread.
I would send it in again if I heard that the problem had been resolved totally and I would have no chance of getting it back again with a poor touchpad. -

A small knife should be fine since the area to cut is very small and only in the corners of the opening. I attached the picture of modded thouchpad area of my TT and also placed the original touchpad next to the new one so it can be seen that the size is practically identical (except the upper corners area) Also, for those who may be interested, the part number for TZ touchpad is A1289864A
It seems to be also possible providing a very delicate cutting since the corners of touchpad are very close to its circuitry. But the area to cut seem to be just a plastic so someone can try this approach also. For me since I have no plans to go back to the original part I don't really worry.Attached Files:

Many many TNX pokaz !!!
Oh, by the way ... do you think you can provide us just one more photo of the touchpad part you removed ... but from the side of it, so we can all see the thickness of the plastic touch area top ?
If not ... nevermind ... you've already been very helpful.
