G73/74/53 Series Driver and Application Reference

That's all I get with ATK 1.00.0014, but I don't have a 3D model. I recommend you PM PILGRIM.
He'll be better able to help you with your 3D issues.

Hey Chastity,

I installed the ATK Package 1.0.0.00014 (10/25/11) and Synaptics 15.3.13 pack. But after that I can't enable/disable the touchpad using the function keys. I uninstalled and reinstalled but it's still the same. Do you have a workaround?

Thanks.

Are you sure you have a Synaptics touchpad? Synaptics drivers have an annoying habit of allow installation on computers that don't even have Synaptics hardware. If you have a G74, you may well have a Sentelic touchpad.

PS: Chastity is no longer providing direct support here, for the time being.

G74 may have Synaptic tp's. Both types were used in that model. ;-)

[BrodyBoy]

Yes. I was just suggesting that it's a good idea to confirm the hardware, since Asus doesn't make it obvious which model was used. But that's more about eliminating confounding issues, as I believe it's the ATK driver (exclusively) that controls these kinds of keyboard associations.

To that end, I'd suggest completely uninstalling the ATK package, rebooting, re-installing it, and rebooting again.

I had the same issue and BrodyBoy helped me solved it.
My computer has a Sentelic pad (which is working fine now) but the Synaptics driver was installed (even came out of the box with the latter!)
Here is how to find out:
Disconnect external mouse
Using touchpad, go to Device Manager/Mice and other.../Synaptics...
Right-click and choose Properties
Click on the Details tab
Click on down pointing arrow and choose Hardware ids

If you see STLC141 then you have a Sentelic touchpad installed and should use this:
Sentelic 9177 package

Wow, came with the wrong driver installed ...

We have to cease having conversations in this thread. When you have issues or questions post them in an appreciate existing thread or state a new one. Pleeze...... :-)
