Dell :: XPS 16 Trackpad Scroll?
May 29, 2010I just got my xps 1647, but where's the scroll function in the trackpad? It is very inconvenient when I'm reading big webpages.

View 3 RepliesI'm having a Dell XPS L321X and the trackpad is totally laggy compared to a macbook. I'm using Win8 and installed the win8 driver and the two finger scroll has a delay of half a second.
I tried the newer Win7 Cypress Touchpad Drivers... the same laggy problem.
Any new drivers available?
Beside of that, i still have my fan problem: [URL] ....
on my e6400?
I need it for an application, I need it really bad.
I can't believe that it's not on the keybaord.
my touchpad scrolling is not working. how can i go about getting it to work?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI just received an XPS 15 this week and the touchpad is really really jumpy.I can't scroll at all without it jumping around. Also, is there a way to enable 1 finger scrolling, I don't seem to have an option to do so in the settings.

View 9 Replies View RelatedGot it on EBay and can't seem to find right driver to enable scrolling with the touchpad.
Tried Synaptics but that did not work. Dell's download site only has ALPS fixes.
Anyone know the right driver? Is the D410 touchpad even capable of this?
I've just bought a used Dell Latitude D830 (UK, XP SP2) and find the touchpad won't scroll. Otherwise pad, trackpoint and buttons all work ok.
I went into Control Panel assuming that the scroll areas weren't set up. Not so - unlike on my old C640, there are no separate Synaptics set-up tabs. Nothing - and it claims there's a Microsoft mouse plugged into PS2 .
I bought a dell xps 13 a few months ago. I was pretty happy with its performance untill a few days ago, when its touchpad refuses to scroll periodically. While it is refusing to scroll, other multi-finger gestures like zoom, pinch etc work. Also, touchscreen scroll and mouse scroll also work. Problem doesn't go away even if I disable and re enable the driver. It sometimes goes away on its own, or on restarting the computer.
I use windows 8.1
I installed the touchpad driver. I am not able to access the touchpad settings when I click on the ones with the yellow arrow. Nothing happens. I want to turn off tap to click.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm on my 2nd SXPS 16 (first one had dust under the glass) and on both systems the trackpad gets very hot even when I'm barely using the computer! Is there anything I can do to get the heat down? Is there a application that allows me to increase fan speed?
It really get uncomfortably hot even when it's just sitting on my desk with no programs running (and I have the 256GB SSD which I thought would reduce heat!). I also know this isn't an issue with the computer b/c the original one I had, had the same issue
my track pad on my M1530. I have sometime when I will run my finger across the track pad but the cursor with not move. It will jitter a little bit but will do nothing else. Then after a couple seconds, and sometime a hit on the palm rest, it will work again. It has happened probably the whole time I have had the laptop( 7 months), and now it seems to be occurring more frequently. Also, for the whole time I have had the laptop, the track pad will not always register a tap on it as a click, it just sits there like I did nothing. I know that could be a setting, but I have messed with them the best I can and it has changed nothing. Do you think this could be a driver issue, I have updated the driver since I got the laptop, or could it be bad hardware that came with the laptop. I have a complete care warranty, so they would probably replace it no problem, and I am already going to have the motherboard replaced because of a broken clip on the Ethernet port.

Every so often (probably once week) the trackpad will stop functioning: the buttons keep working but the pointer does not move. At that point the only thing I can do is to shut down and reboot. There doesn't seem anything systematic about what I am doing before to trigger this.
I normally have the pointing stick switched off, I've turned it back on to see how that interacts
I'm used to the trackpad of the Inspiron 8600 which is accurate and responsive. By comparison the trackpad of the E6500 is not very responsive.
I can move my finger 1/3 of the way across the trackpad before the cursor responds, and even then the cursor will lag behind my fingertip.
I'm using either a usb or bluetooth mouse with my new XPS 15z, and i'm getting tired of a problem...
The trackpad is impossible to shut down for good... i mean: indeed you can disable it, turn it off, and even tell it to turn off when usb mouse is plugged, but it never really does, it always, always, always stays on for a second before shutting down...
In other words: my trackpad is disabled, both buttons and touch, and i use a bluetooth mouse. but even it is disabled, if i pass my fingers on it, the cursor moves for 1cm before shutting down... then i wait 2 minutes, and i pass my fingers on it again, and then again the cursor moves 1 cm before stopping moving.
So it is never really shut down, with the consequence i never can type text without my hand touching it and putting the cursor somewhere in the page and i have to put the cursor back to where it was,
For example it happened 5 times when typing this very text....
I have updated the cypress trackpad drivers to last up to date version...
Suddenly, after a year of use, the Cypress trackpad has become inaccurate. The pointer judders when I move it across the screen and when I tap to open or close something or anywhere on the screen, the pointer move slightly (usually up and to right by a small amount) when I tap. This is frustrating when trying to do simple tasks. This is not caused by a change in senstivity on the trackpad. I have checked all the defaults settings in case something changed. I am running Windows 7 on a XPS 15z.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI bought a dell inspiron n5110 laptop just a couple of days back. the problem is I am not able to scroll on the touchpad. it does not even have a mark on it to tell you the area you can use for scrolling. I have tried uninstalling and installing the drivers but its not working.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI love the hardware design of the XPS 15, except that the touchpad is unusable for scrolling. My old Latitude 6520 at least could use the scroll zones well, but with the buttons on the L521x being part of the touchpad, the horizontal scroll zone impacts button usage and isn't worth it.The big issue is the multi-finger scrolling jumps significantly when lifting fingers. I've tried every version of the driver I could find, and they all have this issue. If you make sure you completely stop scrolling before lifting fingers, then lift one at a time, I can usually avoid the jump, but that take more time than just using the keys to scroll.
Is there a way to either disable horizontal scrolling using scroll zones or fix the 2 finger scrolling to not jump? Except for that issue (and some sporadic wifi issues that my be fixed with newest driver), this laptop would be perfect for me.
I Have an Inspiron 1520, 2gb ram, 8400M GSI installed a webcam driver and tried to reboot.Num-lock Scroll-Lock Caps-Lock on not flashing. No beeps. No dell logo. After 5 secs, it restarts. I don't have a battery. The power indicator is on. My AC adapter light is also on.What I've tried so far:Removed both 512 ram 1 at a time and still the same results. Tried other ram.Unplugged and plugged back in the CMOS battery.The battery works on another laptop. Removed WLan card.

I've seen the "2 finger" software hack for Synaptic trackpads, but that doesn't apparently work on these Alps trackpads .....
My friend is very cheap and will not get a new computer. He has a dell lat. D520. I wiped everything and installed all the drivers from the dell website for the laptop.
Everything works great until you have to type or move the trackpad. It tends to jump around or insert other letters then the one chosen. But a usb external keyboard works fine!
I called dell and said that he doesnt have any warranty and said maybe the buttons were stuck? Should he order a new keyboard for 50 bucks?
I just bought this so called Ultrabook a few days ago and already encountering trackpad issues. It only started happening since yesterday, but figured out then when you plug in the AC Adapter to charge the battery, The trackpad begins to lag or stop working all together.
Yesterday, the trackpad fixed itself somehow so I ignored it, but tonight as I was working on some uni assignments, my laptop battery was low so I plugged it in. The trackpad immediately stopped working and I could no longer work. I "Googled" to no avail, I downloaded the new driver for Cypress, but that too did not work.
It appears that the only way to scroll with the current driver is the two finger scroll. I need a driver that will allow me to edge scroll, that is using one finger on the far right of the touchpad for scrolling. Bonus points if the driver allows "momentum" and doesn't mess up other stuff.
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy computer is the dell 1747 Studio Laptop running Windows 7 Professional. It has the built-in Synaptics Touch Pad. When you drag your finger on the far right side of the pa, it auto scrolls through the document on the screen.
I use my Laptop almost exclusively with a remote desktop connection. I process large documents (some as many as 200 pages). If I accidentally drag my hand or finger up or down on the left side of the touch pad, it begins to scroll. Since it is a remote desktop connection, it will not stop scrolling until it reaches the end of the document either up or down. I have to sit and wait for it to finish scrolling before I can use the computer again.
I would like to know how to turn OFF auto scrolling on the touch pad. There is a "wheel" setting in the device setup menu but you can only turn it down to "1" not "zero".
I have been experiencing two issues and wanted to see if anyone has experienced this issues also and have a solution for them.
Audio- The audio will stop working. Causes Flash to crash. Rebooting computer fixes the issue temporary . Seems to happen sometimes after resuming from standby or/and hibernation. My temporary fix is just to use the windows audio drivers versus the IDT drivers.
Trackpad- After sometimes resuming from standby or/and hibernation the trackpad will cease to work. If I put the laptop back into standby or/and hibernation then take it out again it will usually work again. Although sometimes I have to do it a few times.
Video- DirectX seems to stop working mysteriously. My screen saver won't even play! Usually fiddling with the video drivers or restarting a few times fixes it temporary.
Anyone else experiencing these issues? Any solutions/ideas? I have reinstalled the drivers many times and even the entire Operating System. I don't recall these errors in Vista.
This sticker (the one saying "regulatory information...." in 50 languages)
would NOT come off by trying to pick at the corners. It was leaving the sticky part on.
When I pulled at the "tab" built into the sticker, I got that off but it left the whole rectangle sticky part on the laptop. In other words, the whole printed part of the sticker came off leaving all the clear sticky material on the palm rest still.
I kept picking at the corners trying to grab them but no luck.
What finally worked was sliding my fingers while pushing on the surface of the palmrest, upward, into the bottom of the sticker. In other words, press your finger on the plastic of the laptop just below the sticky stuff left behind. Keep sliding your finger while pushing on the plastic INTO the bottom line of the sticky part. It will eventually start to roll up. Do this all along the bottom edge of the sticky part and eventually you can grab the "rolled up edge" and pull at it. It should then pull off in one piece. There will be little tiny sticky marks left on the plastic but they come right up when you place the sticky rectangle piece down onto it and pull fast up.
1) What type of keyboard does the Studio xps 1640 have, is it chicklet? And is it good to type on. IS it better than the xps m530's keyboard.
2) Are their any anoying dell stickers on it that will just peel off like on the m1530's hinge?
3) Does the lid say XPS like the m1530?
4) How is the trackpad is it too small like the xps m1530? I found the trackpad to be too small for me
It is probably a little to early to ask, but does anyone know if the Backlit Keyboard and Trackpad from the Studio XPS can swap into the regular XPS M series?
Even if the backlighting didn't work, my main gripe is the silver keyboard, which is difficult to read under airplane lighting. Black keyboard with white fonts are much better.
