Two Finger Scrolling and Three Finger Gestures (Should work on ALL HPs with Synaptics Touchpads)

[v3loc1ty2.0]

Two finger scrolling now works on the synaptics touchpad of my dv7
I had previously attempted to use modded drivers and other apps (none of which worked), but surprisingly, synaptics seems to have enabled it all by themselves in the latest driver, which is part of scrybe.

More about scrybe: http://www.uscrybe.com/learn.html

Guide:

1. Download the ScrybeSetup.exe file from here (you can enter a junk email): http://www.uscrybe.com/download.php

2. Install the software (Make sure it installs both scrybe and the new driver)
2.1 Restart

3. Go to Control Panel>Mouse>Device Settings (Tab)>Highlight Synaptics Touchpad Vx.x> then click settings

4. Once you have the Touchpad settings windows open, you can change all kinds of settings:

Multifinger Gestures>Two Finger Scrolling (Click the gears next to the name)

Multifinger Gestures>Rotating (Click the gears next to the name)

Multifinger Gestures>Three Finger Press (Click the gears next to the name)

Multifinger Gestures>Three Finger Flick (Click the gears next to the name)

Multifinger Gestures>Scrolling - allows you to disable the normal one finger scrolling

5. After doing this, you can also open scrybe (in the taskbar) and add all kinds of gestures to open apps/websites

I hope this was helpful - I came across this driver by accident but it has been working perfectly so far.

TIP: Non-English Fix by mohameddegheidy: To get text on the configuration window if English is not set as your language, just rename the scrybeus.dll found in install folder to scrybe.dll

since I use XP I installed this version from HP which should work with all XP versions (try at your own risk )

I tried 2 different notebooks (both HP, though) with Win XP SP3 Professional and it works even with an older TouchPad hardware (6.1, I think) but not 3 finger wipe with that hardware...

With the newer TouchPad hardware (6.5) all is working

I still use both scrolling versions, though, two finger scrolling not that often at the moment

it works pretty much the same as a mac on mine... are you keeping your fingers roughly one finger width apart?

it works perfectly when i do that

Works perfectly on my HP 2510p YAY TWO FINGER SCROLLING!

How is the scrolling? Is it very smooth? When scrolling up and down on a webpage, does it jump 5 lines at a time or single lines at a time?

[Sotton]

you have to try and play with the settings. You can set the scrolling (wheel) one page or 1 to 100 lines in the main parameters. Then you can set the speed, too.

Both parameters (lines and speed) together will be responsible for your scrolling experience (depends a little on hardware (GPU), too, I think)

You can start the scrolling with the two fingers and depending on your settings it will scroll until next touch or stop after the wheel settings and so on...

Sotton is correct, but also as a heads up if you are using Google Chrome: the scrolling will be extremely rough since chrome does not have smooth scrolling in the first place

thanks for this OP. working on laptop in sig. with Win7Pro (32bit) although it wouldn't work with my synaptics driver. went over to the community page for scrybe and it seems the installer has trouble with detecting 8 and 9 series drivers. So if anyone runs into trouble you can do what I did:
1) extract ScrybeSetup_Version Number.exe installer file (i used 7-zip)
2) edit line 8 in setup.ini from ByPassChecks=0 to ByPassChecks=1
3) run setup.exe
and it will bypass the driver check
Above method is in no way Scrybe recommended, safe method would be to find a more friendly driver, but I'm lazy

although I'm not sure if this is related to above install method but when I went into control panel> mouse> device settings>settings My display driver, NVidia 173 series, crashes and attempts restart, sometimes causing blue screens.

does it also happen if you try it in safe mode?
