    Found this trick on how to enable some stuff like two-finger scrolling that I like a lot, but was for some reason hidden on my new X505 - and it did work perfectly (after I followed instructions to the letter and opened .reg file in explorer instead from browser).

    If your touchpad uses recent Synaptics drivers, try this, maybe it will work for you too.
    Or if you sure if its Synaptics touchpad in your laptop, but driver is old, try installing modern driver in this article - it may work.

    Good luck :)
