    Wondering the same thing too. I really miss the two finger tap option.

    That is my single most used feature of any laptop. Hope there is a way. The trackpad can definitely support it.

    I don't know about you guys but I don't have the 2fingertapaction reg key. Do I have to add it or do something in order to have it?
    Did you guys actually got it working?

    Nevermind, found it! Actually the search function is case sensitive! I typed 2fingertapaction and found nothing and eventually found it: 2FingerTapAction. Changed it and about to test it! I'll report back.

    Yes. I have been using it a few days now. It's what I was looking for.

    Hum, after testing it, I can't get the 3finger middle-click. I don't get why! I have the 3 finger slide (UP: next tab, DOWN: Previous tab, LEFT: previous page, RIGHT: next page) but no 3 finger tap... Did anyone manage to get it working properly?
    It kind of sucks that the laptop doesn't have a middle-click, i've been so used to using it that I really really miss it!

    This touchpad has proven to be a nightmare. Does anyone know how to enable it in any game for a function as simple as zoom in/out?
