    Does the trackpad on the M11x r1 offer pinch to zoom, 2 finger scroll and other features?

    That's odd, I'm using the two-finger scrolling right now. The Synaptics drivers should work for it. Too bad it doesn't come that way out of the box, but it isn't difficult to install.

    To use the gestures and 2/3-finger scrolling, you need to enable them from the control panel. Not that hard :) Good luck!

    Yes, don't use the Dell drivers. Use the Synaptic drivers linked above. Here it is again: :)
