[Project] Synaptics Advanced Gesture enabler

For those with Synaptics touchpads, I have thought of a method that may overcome Synaptics' hardware lock on advanced gestures. Given that my simple INF mod enabled gestures like Momentum and Chiralmotion (Pinch was not fully developed in v10) on various, most if not all touchpads out there can actually support these gestures at the hardware level.

If you have a Synaptics touchpad and drivers installed (any version), access Control Panel > Mouse > Device Settings > Press Alt-Shift-I for the Diagnostics page > Click on your device Tab and scroll down to the Capabilities value.

1. I lack coding skills, and I am requesting for anyone who can come up with a memory patcher that can modify this value to another value found in other touchpads that have gestures automatically enabled. Another project that uses memory patching (in addition to an extra driver) is TCP-Z at http://deepxw.blogspot.com/
I am requesting specifically for a memory patcher and not a file patcher to avoid modifying Synaptics' files and avoid legal repercussions.

2. If you have a touchpad that supports extra features (eg multi-touch gestures, Pinch gesture) automatically (eg Voodoo Envy, eeePC, etc), please click on "Collect Diagnostics", zip it up and post it here. Or you could just report your touchpad Capabilities value and laptop brand/model.

 

Very cool project! HP 2510P capabilites=220023 , exactly like your thumbnail, using TP1006 ASIC too. All the cool stuff disabled that we want to enable.
