    Today i just figured out that New Vaio Z already have multitouch trackpad driver (Synaptics 7.4)

    In bundled drivers you can use pinch to zoom function and two finger flick (eg.two finger drag left, right to backward forward) in browser or photo viewer

    If you want two finger scrolling like macbook or other multitouch gestures you can download new drivers from synaptics at http://www.uscrybe.com/download.php

    Or use bundled drivers with additional programs from
    http://code.google.com/p/two-finger-scroll/downloads/list
    (But when i load the lastest version on that page it work fine in vertical scrolling but not work for horizontal scrolling so i search in that forum and found one that work on both scrolling at #5 in http://code.google.com/p/two-finger-scroll/issues/detail?id=19)

    Ps. ChiralMotion Scrolling in Synaptics driver is not multitouch feature but work very well too (feel like scrolling music on ipod classic wheel)

    I just installed the second one. So far vertical scrolling is jerky. You need to be precise otherwise you might send the scrolling bar back the other way.

    Still, better than nothing.
