HEADS UP: Add support Synaptics Touchpad on X11!
Norikatsu Shigemura
I committed x11-servers/synaptics, which is a driver for
the Synaptics Touchpad on XFree86 4.x/Xorg. It works good
on Panasonic CF-R4/FreeBSD 6.1-BETA, I saw.
Please install your notePC after 0.14.4_3:-) and later,
and Adopt parameters you like!
SEE ALSO: synatics(4), you can see details.

hello
great. It loads fine in xorg.
But I believe the suggested mouse protocol to set in xorg.conf does not exist
(psm) but should be PS/2 ? the auto-dev either I believe is auto.
When I set to auto xorg reports sysmouse detected, scrolling with button 4,5,6
and 7 is working but dragging not. this is the same with synaptics enabled in
loader.conf but not loading synaptics in xorg. So no news for me here.
The only new thing for me is that xorg seems to see without setting
extrabuttons
(**) touchpad: ZAxisMapping: buttons 4, 5, 6 and 7
(**) touchpad: Buttons: 11
but they do not work ... loading xev nothing happens when pressing them unlike
I set protocol to auto with synaptics set in loader.conf.
Also when I tap on a scrollbar it worls only for the first tap, the second tap
in order to be found I need to move the mouse pointer first.
Ocasionally unvoluntary keyboard repeat as in "jjjjjjjjjjjeah"
When setting PS/2 the scroll is not working and I am back to standar psm
driver :(
My NB is an Acer Aspire.
thank's

I don't believe auto detection and believe that only psm should
be found. The other synaptics protocols are Linux's ones.

The synaptics supports psaux/event/alps/psm/auto-dev protocol.
sysmouse protocol is moused(8)'s protocol. Yes, recent psm(4)
driver supports Synaptics Touchpad, but not enough feature.

I think that you use moused(8)/psm(4) FreeBSD native synaptics
touchpad driver and synaptics(4) X11 driver. So these don't
works you think.
I'll add to disable "Core Pointer" expect synaptics to
pkg-message like following.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
# InputDevice "System_Standard_PS/2_Mouse" "CorePointer"

psm does not exist, at least on my releng_6 ...
the options I have is ps/2 or auto

on freebsd I could not find this, but my is not alps, I have a real synaptics
pad

ok, but the identifier is a name, any name so long as it matches what you set
in the referred device section so it does not matter if you call it synaptics
or psmouse

Protocols supported by synaptics(4)'s are kernel API types.
synaptics(4) in FreeBSD supports only psm protocol via psm(4).

good, that is the kernel driver part but in xorg.conf you can not set psm as
driver, this are the options:
1. Auto [Auto detect]
2. SysMouse [SysMouse]
3. MouseSystems [Mouse Systems (3-button protocol)]
4. PS/2 [PS/2 Mouse]
5. Microsoft [Microsoft compatible (2-button protocol)]
6. Busmouse [Bus Mouse]
7. AceCad [AceCad]
8. GlidePoint [GlidePoint]
9. IntelliMouse [Microsoft IntelliMouse]
10. Logitech [Logitech Mouse (serial, old type, Logitech protocol)]
11. MMHitTab [MM HitTablet]
12. MMSeries [MM Series]
13. MouseMan [Logitech MouseMan (Microsoft compatible)]
14. ThinkingMouse [ThinkingMouse]
I believe there is no such psm driver protocol for xorg in FreeBSD, it is or
PS/2 or auto for the /dev/psmN device

These are mouse_drv.so's protocol lists. I said, synaptics_drv.o
protocol lists.
I don't understand you said. Please don't use auto-detect,
use only "psm".

you mean xorg.conf
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "mouse"
Protocol "ps/2"
should be
Driver "synaptics"
Protocol "psm"
?

Yes!
AT Matik
well, could be a good idea to put this in the man page ...
anyway, sorry for steeling your time and thank's
AT Matik
sooo :)
great work then, the touchpad extended functions are working well on my Acer
even if left/right scrolling using the pad works my extrabuttons are dead but
the former compensate it
thanks!

Great, thanks! It works nicely on my Thinkpad T41p.
Btw: I've just added ksynaptics to the tree, which is a KDE control center
module for easy configuration of the touchpad. Have fun.

Nice work, except that on amd64, I had to force "make ARCH=x86_64",
edit the Makefile and change "lib64" to "lib". For some mysterious
reason, the Makefile doesn't picking up ARCH variable and asume it is
on i386.
Works perfect after everything compiled properly :)
Thanks.
