Hi,
I have Asus UL30JT laptop with driver from Asus website: Touchpad_Elantech_Win81_64_VER115121
I modified my registry to force my PC to use gestures. For future users looking for help, here is a small tutorial on values that you can put inside registry:

Code:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Elantech\SmartPad:    Button_Left; Button_Right; Tap_Two_Finger; Tap_Three_Finger; ThreeFingerMoveUp_Func; ThreeFingerMoveDown_Func:
        0 Click/Select
            Left click default
        1 Pop-up Menu
            Right Click default
        2 Middle Button
        3 Internet Back
(to be continue...)
(continue)
        4 Internet Forward
        5 Maximize Window
        6 Minimize Window
        7 None
            Disables the button
        8 Page Up
        9 Page Down
        10 Run...
            Runs a file of your chosing. Can be anything - a program, a document, an mp3, etc. Also see <Gesture>_Ex and <Gesture>_Path
        11 Scroll Down
        12 Scroll Left
        13 Scroll Right
        14 Scroll Up
        15 Start Menu
        16 Zoom Out
        17 Zoom In
        18 Close Window
        19 Return to Desktop
            Default behavior for three finger swipe down.
        20 My Favorites
            Shows a list of files. Initially it is empty, but there is a link at the bottom of the window that appears that you can click that will let you select files to add to the list.
        21 Show My Computer
        22 Switch Windows
            Alt-tab style window switcher.
            Behavior:
                Left/Right Buttons:
                    Two-finger scroll or click the button the function is assigned to to switch between windows.
                    Click, press enter, or perform a Show Desktop gesture (#19) to select a window.
                    Three finger swipe left/right will select the window to the left or right of the one currently shown when you are scrolling between windows.
                    Very buggy, though, because often times the alt key will become "stuck down" (as if sticky keys were enabled), and you will have to press it on your keyboard in order to un-stick it.
                    Cursor is not locked.
                    Reccomend not using this function with these buttons.
                Three-finger swipe up/down:
                    Move single finger left/right to switch between windows.
                    Tap/click to exit once you have selected the desired window.
                    Cursor is locked.
                Other gestures: Untested.
        23 Switch Windows
            Aero Flip 3D style window switcher.
            Different behavior than #32 for some gestures.
            Behavior:
                Left/Right Buttons:
                    Two-finger scroll or click the button that the function is assigned to to switch between windows. Two-finger scroll is extremely sensitive with this function.
                    Click on the window that you wish to select (normal click or tap, not a click with the button being used for this function).
                    Very buggy, though, because often times the Windows key will become "stuck down" (as if sticky keys were enabled), and you will have to press it on your keyboard in order to un-stick it (and the Start Menu will pop up anyway).
                    Cursor is not locked.
                    Reccomend not using this function with these buttons.
                Three-finger swipe up/down:
                    Move single finger left/right to switch between windows.
                    Tap/click to focus the window underneath your cursor (not necessarily the one in the front/top of the stack.
                    Press enter to focus the window on in the front/top of the stack.
                    Cursor is locked.
                Other gestures: Untested.
        24 Start Slide Show
        25 Stop Slide Show
        26 Open Windows Search Dialog
            Displayed as "No Function" in the GUI.
        27 Double-Click
            Displayed as "No Function" in the GUI.
        28 Lock Computer
            Same function as WinKey+L.
            Displayed as "No Function" in the GUI.
        29 Turn off display/keyboard backlight
            Not the same as Fn+F7 and Fn+F3; simply move cursor or press a key to turn back on.
            Displayed as "No Function" in the GUI.
        30 ???
            Displayed as "No Function" in the GUI.
        31 ???
            Displayed as "No Function" in the GUI.
        32 Switch Windows (Aero Flip 3D; move three fingers left/right to switch between windows; must click on the window you wish to focus; cursor is enabled) (Default for three finger swipe up)
            Behavior:
                Left/Right Buttons:
                    Exact same behavior as #22.
                    Reccomend not using this function with these buttons.
                Three-finger swipe up/down:
                    Three-finger swipe left/right to switch between windows.
                    Click, press enter, or perform a Show Desktop gesture (#19) to select a window.
                Other gestures: Untested.
        33 ???
            Displayed as "No Function" in the GUI.
            Didn't test beyond 33 because it felt like 32 was probably the end.


2FINGER_CONTINE_SCROLL    = 30
1FINGER_CONTINE_SCROLL    = 31
ASUS_SWITCH_WINDOW_WAY    = 32
RETURN_BEFORE_WINDOWS    = 33
INTERLLIGENT_TOUCHPAD_UP   = 34 
INTERLLIGENT_TOUCHPAD_DOWN = 35 
INTERLLIGENT_TOUCHPAD_THERRFINGER_CLICK = 36
IDEALIFE_UP        = 37
IDEALIFE_DOWN        = 38
MULTI_SELECT        = 39
ACER_RING        = 40




    Button_Middle; Button_Middle_Ex; Button_Middle_Path:
        No effect. Pressing the bottom-center of the touchpad does not trigger this function.
           
    Button_Left_Ex; Button_Right_Ex; Tap_Two_Finger_Ex; Tap_Three_Finger_Ex:
        Just a visual label that is shown in the GUI when "Run..." (#10) is selected as the function for a gesture. Serves no real functional purpose other than a hint at what you have selected as the target of the run command.
       
    Button_Left_Path; Button_Right_Path; Tap_Two_Finger_Path; Tap_Three_Finger_Path:
        Path to a file that will be ran if the gesture's function is set to "Run..." (#10).
       
    ButtonLeftFunStaticText; ButtonRightFunStaticText; Tap2FunStaticText:
        Set to 0 to allow configuration of the functions of these gestures via dropdown menu in the GUI. Set to 1 to disable the dropdown configuration for the button and only show the text representing the function that a button is set to perform. Note that if "Run..." is selected, you may still configure the file to be ran using the GUI if this setting is set to 1.
       
    Tap_Two_Finger_ShowItem; Tap_Three_Finger_ShowItem:
        Set to 1 to show these settings in the GUI.
        Set to 0 to hide these settings from the GUI.
       
    FourFingerMoveUp_Enable; FourFingerMoveDown_Enable; FourFingerMoveLeft_Enable; FourFingerMoveRight_Enable:
        Seem to have no effect. Four finger swipes do not work after enabling these (setting them to 1, default is 0)
       
    FourFingerMoveUp_Func; FourFingerMoveDown_Func; FourFingerMoveLeft_Func; FourFingerMoveRight_Func:
        Seem to have no effect. Four finger swipes do not work after setting these to what should be valid functions.

Whoever did that - awesome work.

Anywyas: My friend with Dell notebook can perform a swipe gesture, but after that his mouse jumps right to charms. I find this really useful and I wonder if I can also replicate that effect... In registry I found data that look, like a solution to my problem. However I tried to fiddle with them and no success.

Code:
"Win8EdgeSwipeLeft_Enable"=dword:00000001
"Win8EdgeSwipeRight_Enable"=dword:00000001
"Win8EdgeSwipeTop_Enable"=dword:00000001
"Win8EdgeSwipeBottom_Enable"=dword:00000000
"Win8EdgeSwipe_Edge_Range"=dword:00000001
"Win8EdgeSwipe_Triger_Radius"=dword:00000005
"Win8EdgeSwipe_Triger_Angle"=dword:00000010
"Win8EdgeSwipe_Mode"=dword:00000001
"Win8EdgeSwipe_CharmSelect_Enable"=dword:00000003
"Win8EdgeAdvance_Enable"=dword:00000001
"Win8EdgeAdvance_Left_Return_Middle_Enable"=dword:00000000
"Win8EdgeAdvance_Left_Return_End_Enable"=dword:00000000
"Win8EdgeAdvance_Left_To_Down_Enable"=dword:00000000
"Win8EdgeAdvance_Up_To_Down_Enable"=dword:00000000
"Win8EdgeAdvance_Left_Enable"=dword:00000000
"Win8EdgeAdvance_Right_Enable"=dword:00000001
"Win8EdgeAdvance_Top_Enable"=dword:00000000
"Win8EdgeAdvance_Bottom_Enable"=dword:00000000

I wonder what I can do with Win8EdgeSwipe_Mode, Win8EdgeAdvance_X and Win8EdgeSwipe_CharmSelect_Enable.

Any ideas?
