I don't know who thought having a multi-touch touchpad on a laptop was a good idea, but more often than not I accidentally touch it with my left hand after typing and zoom in/out of the browser when I want to move the mouse pointer.
Is there any way to deactivate the multi-touch gestures? The Synaptics driver that comes pre-installed only allows me to disable tap-to-click. I can't find any setting for multi-touch gestures, not even on a per-application level.
