Name : xorg-x11-drv-synaptics
Product : Fedora 9
Version : 0.15.1
Release : 3.fc9
URL :
http://www.x.org
Summary : Xorg X11 synaptics input driver
Description :
This is a driver for the Synaptics TouchPad for X.Org. A Synaptics touchpad by
default operates in compatibility mode by emulating a standard mouse. However,
by using a dedicated driver, more advanced features of the touchpad becomes
available.
Features:
* 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.
