Touchpad 2-finger gesture for scrolling not working

[DaVL]

Lately i have had alot of problems with my touchpad. 2 finger scroll works after a reboot, but after a while it starts behaving badly: it still response to the 2-finger gesture, but very slow. Rebooting the pc fixes this again, for a while ...

I read on this site that removing the driver and letting it install it again by itsself fixes the issue. I removed it, in indeed reinstalled itsself again, but the 2-finger site isnt working at all anymore.

Help!
