It isn't.   As a matter of fact, xorg-x11-drv-synaptics is a newer
version of it.  I'm trying to figure out why 'yum list *synaptics*'
didn't find that package.

Thanks for taking the time to point that out.

So what is the status of that driver ?  Is it stable ? Should it be used
as the basis of a new app ?

I haven't looked at the source code for it yet.   Does it use the
libsynaptics library or does it directly talk to the Synaptics device ?

Thanks
