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.
