zooming with touchpad

[phacemeltar]

so i play on a laptop, as my desktop machine is hella broken right now (dont ask). EQ runs fine on this machine for what i want to do, but i have this one problem that is really starting to bug me.

if i start eqgame.exe with an external mouse plugged in, then while playing i unplug it (to go poop or something), i can use the touchpad two-fingers down gesture to control my 3rd-person zoom as i would with the mousewheel.

but if i start eqgame.exe without the mouse plugged in, the client does not seem to register the gesture. even if i plug the mouse in later, unless i restart the client i have to stay in 1st-person. i was wondering if anyone knows why this would be different, or if there was a way that i could make the client respond to the touchpad gestures without having the mouse plugged in.

my laptop is an asus and i use the asus gesture utility that comes with the ATKdriver package.
