Dual touch gestures?

Is it possible to get the touchpad to recognize dual touch gestures? Only thing i want is two finger scrolling up/down, as i used to really love that feature on my old asus netbook.

 

I believe if you download Synaptics "Scrybe", it will give you options to add multitouch gestures. IMHO, though, the two-finger scrolling with that was much less smooth than the virtual scrolling you can enable through Commando Center.

 

synaptics at least in my experience made some of the worst functioning drivers/software i ever used... still some reviews say the touch pad supports multi-touch, was just wondering if its true and if i can use it.

My older laptops with them synaptics touch pads would function way smoother with just default windows drivers... if i uninstalled the synaptics driver, would i get the option of 2 finger scrolling in windows drivers?

Also, synaptics multi-touch would work horrible glitchy, at least on asus 1215N, wouldn't pick it up 80% of the time too...

 

The touchpad drivers for this laptop on Dell's site does not include 2 finger scrolling. If you download the drivers off of synaptics website then those ones have the 2 finger scrolling.

I don't know about the windows drivers for the touchpad, you could just try it.

Also, two finger scrolling works really well on my r1 with the synaptics drivers.

EDIT: I think I have an older version of the synaptics drivers installed than the ones currently on their website so if you have already tried those drivers, maybe the newer ones don't work as well.

 

ok so i tried installing driver from synaptics website, which include a load of not quite working and useless gestures like @ for email etc. but i didn't find any multi-touch, also it fked up my alientouch... completely. Downloaded another version from elsewhere, still no multi-touch for some reason...

I am giving up on this crap and will just use arrow keys, as i am pretty much used to it now.

 

You downloaded this one?
Download - SYNAPTICS | Scrybe

Works perfect for me... @ = Email

 

dunno bout you guys but i like to doodle on my touch pad... lol

didn't it mess up you alientouch? as in make it crash every time pretty much? ill need to factory reset it :d got too much crap on my m11x

 

I used the most recent drivers and they are fine. They break Alientouch but almost everything you can set in alientouch you can just set in the Synaptics settings. 2 or 1 finger scrolling, disable touchpad with usb mouse etc. Not sure why it isn't working for you.

By break Alientouch I just mean you can't apply settings in there but it doesn't crash. (ie, set "disable with usb mouse" in alientouch, but it won't actually disable it)

 

for me it down right crashes the whole command center... ill try reinstalling command center and see where it gets me.

 

Use the Synaptic drivers and forget about Alientouch altogether. Two-finger scrolling works beautifully.

 

This is what I do and I can vouch for it being extremely wonderful.

 

Here's the one i use

Downloads - two-finger-scroll - Two finger gestures for Synaptics TouchPads on Windows - Google Project Hosting

(top most recent version)

it has three finger touches, 2 finger scrolling etc... i think its great! In settings put scroll mode to 'smooth' and turn the down the sensitivity to about 2/9.

 

Wow, that's awesome! Now how do I give rep...

 

Yeah ikr... it works particularly well in chrome when you use the 'smooth scroll' extension

I use it all the time and the combination of the 2 is as good as a macbook scrolling

 

ill let you guys know if it helps to do factory reset, otherwise i will be owning a rare example of dual-touch-less m11x

i had rebooted the dumb thing btw.

 

I know someone posted Synaptics driver for HP laptop where you get multitouch and doesn't affect your command center (coz I'm using it lol)

 

well i just downloaded the new synaptics driver after a factory reset yesterday, multi-touch does work, but one on my asus 1000h, which was using windows default driver for it, works way, way more smoother... also synaptics one doesn't pick it up like half the time...

it feels like fingers need to be a fair bit apart, and fairly in a line, on the asus i could just drag two fingers, doesn't matter if they are close together, and it would pick it up every single time...

Synaptics drivers still sux... thought them silly shapes recognitions do work well.
