Synaptics TouchPad updated to v.14.0.19

Yesterday, Dell posted an update to the Synaptics TouchPad driver. This updated driver was posted under the M11x drivers however since both the M11x and M17x (R1 & R2) share the same touchpad it is compatible.

Dell releases Synaptics Touchpad v14.0.12.0

Today Dell posted an updated Synaptics Touchpad driver. Details as follows:

Disable scrolling feature as default setting

Corrects Alientouch compatiablity in Windows 7

Driver Lists have been updated. Direct link is HERE.

NOTE: The disable bug is again present in this release. If you use an external mouse it will throw an error when trying to access the Touchpad properties. They really neeed to resolve this. The default Microsoft driver can be used as an alternative.

Win7 Drivers Updated!

Just came across a few updates for Win7 and the M17x. Dell posted the following:

- NVIDIA MCP79 Chipset v2.05
- Dell/AW Broadcom 1510 Wireless v5.30.21.0
- Synaptics v13.2.4.12
- ITE IT8512 CIR Receiver v5.1.0.1

*Also posted (for another system but will work with the M17x):
- Dell Wireless 370 Bluetooth Module v6.2.0.9600 A01, Last Updated: 10/15/2009

I have updated the Win7 Driver page with these new versions. Currently, we are still waiting for an official Win7 Display driver and Webcam driver. I'm guessing we should see these posted shortly so check back often.

Side note: The Broadcom Wireless driver includes support for Vista 64 so I have updated the Vista Driver page as well.

Enjoy!
