(NO warranties that this is kosher or will work for you, but it did for me on my 1005HA in XP, and I'd expect this would work with most recently-built laptops with a synaptics touchpad. Probably not a bad idea to set a system restore point before doing this just in case though) 1) Get the latest synaptic drivers here: http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/forum/lofiversion/index.php/t15103.html You need version >= 13 (currently ASUS only offers version 12.2.8; the ones on synaptics' website are ancient). 2) Uninstall old drivers/reboot/install new drivers/reboot. Now you have a driver supporting the gestures shown here: http://www.synaptics.com/solutions/technology/gestures/touchpads/touchpad but they're not enabled by default, at least on this ASUS. 3) Download the file I put up here: http://drop.io/syntp_sgs (named synpd_enableSGS.inf) Then, right click the file and choose "Install." This will modify the registry to enable the Gesture Suite. Note: this may not work if you were somehow running 64-bit windows (ie, not an eee pc) 4) Edit your settings in the Synaptics driver device settings tab. enjoy! i found a better hack here. it actually modifies the registry of your synaptics driver to enable these features + more:
