		<description><![CDATA[thnak you very much Chavis, 
though i went to google GESTURE SUPPORT for TOUCHPADS and hav already discovered that SYNAPTICS does provide it  (i hav a PACKARD BELL mh36 notebook that comes with a  SYNAPTICS TOUCHPAD and perhaps support gestures through UNLOCKING  but havent yet tested), but for many devices u hav to use MODED Driver to unlock this feature.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[@Umar&gt;&gt;Well, the price of such equipment is a regional thing and I didn&#039;t want to get into that really. But since you insist - I got it for free after signing a 2-year contract for 2GB of wireless data (15 euro monthly). You can probably buy the same grade netbook even cheaper in the US, but European prices are higher. So it&#039;s basically a great deal.

@sakundes&gt;&gt;The amount of shared video memory is a system setting - yes. There is a maximum amount that the video adapter can handle anyways, so you probably won;t be able to dedicate as much as 512MB. But you don&#039;t have to anyways, cause you won&#039;t see any noticeable improvement. I keep my office PC set at 64MB as I don&#039;t even need 256MB. I prefer spending the available RAM for other productivity applications.

@usmandulmial&gt;&gt;Generally, you can *unlock* multi-touch functionality, if you&#039;ve got a Synaptics trackpad. You just have to install a patched driver to do so. It turned out the VNB102 trackpad is not manufactured by Synaptics so the usual tricks don&#039;t work. 
Viewsonic don&#039;t even have any trackpad drivers up at their Support site and the trackpad is currently recognized as a PS/2 mouse, which means it&#039;s using a generic Windows pointing device driver. That&#039;s one of the negatives of not going for mainstream hardware. I&#039;m still waiting on Viewsonic&#039;s support answer what&#039;s the manufacturer of the trackpad.]]></description>
