The Synaptics TouchPad Driver is designed for Synaptics touchpads and is compatible with XOrg/XFree86.
The XOrg/XFree86 Synaptics TouchPad Driver project is designed to provide compatibility for Synaptics TouchPad with XOrg/XFree86 4.x. This dedicated driver unlocks the full extent of the touchpad's capabilities, which may be limited in compatibility mode.
XOrg XFree86 Synaptics TouchPad Driver offers many advanced features to users that are not available with the standard touchpad driver. You can adjust the non-linear acceleration and speed of the touchpad for precise movement, and use short or double-touching for button events.
Dragging can be achieved by holding down your finger on the touchpad, and the upper and lower corners can be used for middle and right button events. Vertical scrolling is available by moving your finger on the right side of the touchpad, and button four and five can be used for up/down button events.
To scroll horizontally, move your finger on the lower side of the touchpad, and button six and seven allow for horizontal scrolling. Multi-buttons can be used for sending button four/five events, or six/seven events for horizontal scrolling. Finger detection is adjustable, and multifinger taps can be used for middle and right button events (hardware support necessary).
The software supports run-time configuration using shared memory, which means you can change parameter settings without restarting the X server. Additional support for xorg 7.1 has been added to this latest release, along with minor build fixes for xorg 7.0.
Overall, XOrg XFree86 Synaptics TouchPad Driver is a fantastic addition for users who want to unlock the full potential of their touchpad. It offers a comprehensive range of features that provide a seamless and precise user experience, making it an essential utility for any user who frequently uses their touchpad.
