Alright... so after being forced off the Consumer Preview about a week after installing it, I have made the lead to Windows 8 on my ASUS U36SD. So far, almost everything is perfect. There is just one thing I cannot figure out...
I cannot get the Windows 8 touchpad gestures to work - you know, swiping from the sides to bring up the charms menu etc. Now, I am fairly certain my touchpad should support the gestures - i mean, it supports 3 finger multi-touch (two finger scrolling, pinch to zoom, 3 finger hold to launch an application, etc all work). I am running driver version 15.3.17.0 from Synaptics and it is Synaptics Touchpad V7.4.
Am i missing something or is my touchpad just not compatible, even though it supports multitouch?
edit: updated to a newer version of the driver i found online (was not on synaptics website, but just floating around: v16.2.10.20)... now the gestures work on and off, but lost 95% of all multi-touch (as in only pinch to zoom works), and the mouse is laggy. which means bad driver. hmm...
