I didn't know about this driver (and I don't know if my touchpad is
compatible with it, in windowsXP it appears as Alps Pointer Device).
The functionality the driver you said is:
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.
Vertical and horizontal scrolling was exactly what I was trying to say.
Thank you
