It has finally happened. A driver and software for laptops using Synaptic touchpads has been created that allows multi-touch support. Now you can use 2 and 3 finger gestures on your touchpad to scroll, open an application, zoom in and out, etc. It works for almost any HP laptop (made in the last decade or so) or any other brand that uses a Synaptic pad. So far I have gotten it to work on 2 HP’s, 2 Gateways and 1 Compaq 🙂
