Synaptics TouchPad driver for X.Org/XFree86 server

This package provides an input driver for the X.Org/XFree86 X server to enable advanced features of the Synaptics Touchpad including: 

 * Movement with adjustable, non-linear acceleration and speed
 * Button events through short touching of the touchpad
 * Double-Button events through double short touching of the touchpad
 * Dragging through short touching and holding down the finger on the touchpad
 * Middle and right button events on the upper and lower corner of the touchpad
 * Vertical scrolling (button four and five events) through moving the finger
   on the right side of the touchpad
 * The up/down button sends button four/five events
 * Horizontal scrolling (button six and seven events) through moving the finger
   on the lower side of the touchpad
 * The multi-buttons send button four/five events, and six/seven events for
   horizontal scrolling
 * Adjustable finger detection
 * Multifinger taps: two finger for middle button and three finger for right
   button events. (Needs hardware support. Not all models implement this
   feature.)
 * Run-time configuration using shared memory. This means you can change
   parameter settings without restarting the X server (see synclient(1)).
 * It also provides a daemon to disable touchpad while typing at the keyboard
   and thus avoid unwanted mouse movements (see syndaemon(1)).
