Possiblity to run independent of synaptics drivers.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Not an issue, but if you try to run two-finger-scroll without the synaptics 
drivers loaded (SynTPEnh.exe) you get an error about "No Synaptics 
Device Found". But once two-finger scrolling in started you can kill 
SynTPEnh.exe and two-finger-scrolling will still function 100%.

So my question, or feature request, is why not allow the application to 
run independent of the Synaptics drivers? Seeing as I don't use any of 
the features provided in the Synaptics drivers, it would free up about 5k 
of memory usage, which seems to be the same amount the 
TwoFingerScroll process takes.

yea, it would be awesome, because I dislike the synaptics driver, it makes no 
sense
it makes my keyboard lag and slow down a lot of processes. I hate it. Now I 
only need
to find an alternative way to scroll this would be the awesome candidate for 
that. :)

The drivers provided to me by dell are for alps touchpad. So does this mean I 
cant 
use this?

Alps driver support would be very much appreciated.
Before trying to get this working, I was under the impression that I had a 
Synaptics
touchpad (Windows Update decided I did, and installed latest Synaptics drivers a
while back). Turns out, it's an Alps touchpad (took me quite a while to figure 
that
out, everything in Device Manager, etc. indicated Synaptics), and I can't find
anything that will allow two finger scrolling with Alps drivers.  If possible, 
please
support Alps touchpads, I'd love to be able to use this.

I would love to see this have support for ALPS drivers. 
I'm considering a new lappy and would love to continue using this on it!
Is this a possibility?

Here's another vote for ALPS support. (I'd prefer a Synaptics touchpad, but 
only Dell 
made a tablet with a C2D and touchpad at the time of my purchase)

Yes, Synaptics currently don't offer two- and three-finger tap for right or 
middle 
click. When I try to use "twofingerscroll" on a top of "Synaptics" to emulate 
middle 
button, I've got two (or three) tap (opening new tab) PLUS on a top of that 
I've got 
somehow single click from Syn driver as well. Result: instead of just new tab 
we have 
the link open twice - new tab and current tab.

How to do it WITHOUT Synaptics?
