please include the synaptics X11 driver on FC2

[Rui Miguel Silva Seabra]

Hi,

   I've been using Paul Nasrat's synaptics driver package for some time
without any problems, both with XFree86 and xorg-x11.

   This driver is quite essential for many touchpads, so it _would_ be
very nice to include it (starting with test3) in FC2.

  Hugs, Rui

Linux 2.6 + Synaptics touchpads == lots of problems without the driver.

I use the following config, currently:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "synaptics"
        Option      "Protocol" "auto-dev"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
        Option      "UpDownScrolling" "yes"
        Option      "EmulateMidButtonTime" "500"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
        Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
        Option      "BLCornerButton" "2"
EndSection

This driver has worked quite well with FC1 and FC2 so far, a vote +1
from me.

The main issue remaining is letting system-config-mouse configure it
appropriately.  The changes don't look too hard but if the driver is to go in
having the configuration done automatically makes sense. kudzu already probes
for synaptics.
