For proper Synaptics support an XFree86 driver is available (get it at http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340/touchpad/index.html). This will allow for full support, including gesture recongition. Passthrough support for enabling the touchpoint or external mice chained to the Synaptics pad is pending in my patch queue and will be merged as soon as I return from Ottawa. Support for touchpads is nonexistent in mousedev.c, it only supports mice, digitizers and touchscreens. Just adding an entry to the device tableis futile, you'd need much much more than that. -- Vojtech Pavlik SuSE Labs, SuSE CR
