Website: https://www.x.org

Vendor: Alcance Libre, Inc.
Description:
This is the Synaptics touchpad driver for the X.Org X server. The
following touchpad models are supported:
  * Synaptics
  * appletouch (Post February 2005 and October 2005 Apple Aluminium
    Powerbooks)
  * Elantech (EeePC)
  * bcm5974 (Macbook Air (Jan 2008), Macbook Pro Penryn (Feb 2008),
   iPhone (2007), iPod Touch (2008)

Note that support for appletouch, elantech and bcm5974 requires the
respective kernel module.

A touchpad by default operates in compatibility mode by emulating a
standard mouse. However, by using a dedicated driver, more advanced
features of the touchpad become available.

Features:
  * Movement with adjustable, non-linear acceleration and speed.
  * Button events through short touching of the touchpad ("tapping").
  * 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.
