I have Synaptics Touchpad v5.9 (7.12.3.0) installed on this Gateway
laptop. And when I open a post in its own window, the touchpad scroll
works fine. Although my five Asus EeePC which use a newer version
Synaptics Driver v6.3 will not scroll the window from the touchpad.
Also just tried the newest version and that one doesn't work either.
If I use a mouse, that scroll anyway works. So has anybody else seen
this behavior from Synaptics Drivers and OE6?


Well after not having the touchpad scroll feature not working for OE6
messages for over a year on my 5 netbooks. I finally got out my
Gateway Recovery disc out and found the older Synaptics Touchpad v5.9
(7.12.3.0) driver deep in layers of folders. Installed it on one of
my netbooks and now OE6 scrolls with the touchpad. Now to install it
on 4 more netbooks. Sad they throw a newer driver with those netbooks
that doesn't even work, eh? Thank goodness for older drivers. vbg


I rarely use Firefox, so I just discovered this. But FF doesn't work with
the scroll pad on the Synaptics Touchpad. I usually use a mouse so it is
okay there. I'll try the newest version of the driver on a spare hard
drive and see if that helps. But I seriously doubt it.
