I have a new XPS 13 and I'm used to one finger edge scroll from my last xps, can this touchpad accept Synaptics drivers? Is there a way to config it as is?
Not that I know of, in fact more laptops are foregoing the more complex customizable touchpad drivers in favor of allowing Windows 10's native touchpad customization options to handle everything, and I believe it only allows two-finger scrolling. That said, I too was very accustomed to single-finger edge scrolling, but having used two-finger scrolling for a while now, I couldn't go back. Edge scrolling didn't always trigger reliably, i.e. sometimes I'd just be moving my cursor up or down if I didn't get RIGHT to the edge, or sometimes I'd scroll when I just wanted to move my cursor. With two-finger scrolling, I never scroll when I meant to move the cursor, and I never move the cursor when I meant to scroll. And I've found that I actually like that I can scroll from anywhere on the touchpad. Just my 2 cents.
