Installation of the Synaptics Touchpad Driver for XFree 4.x
===========================================================

Author: Stefan Gmeiner <riddlebox@freesurf.ch>

needs: - Using with Kernel 2.4.x for x < 10 needs a kernel patch (see
         source code)

1. If you are installing the driver by binary you can go to step 3.

2. Type "make" to build the driver "synaptics_drv.o".

3. Copy the driver module "synaptics_drv.o" into the XFree module path
"ex. /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/input/". Running "make install" as root
will do this for you if you have X installed in /usr/X11R6/.

4. Load the driver by changig the XFree configuration file through
adding the line 'Load "synaptics"' in the module section.

5. Add/Replace in the InputDevice section for the touchpad the
following lines:

Section "InputDevice"
  Driver  	"synaptics"
  Identifier  	"Mouse[1]"
  Option 	"Device"  	"/dev/psaux"
  Option	"Protocol"	"auto-dev"
  Option	"LeftEdge"      "1900"
  Option	"RightEdge"     "5400"
  Option	"TopEdge"       "1900"
  Option	"BottomEdge"    "4000"
  Option	"FingerLow"	"25"
  Option	"FingerHigh"	"30"
  Option	"MaxTapTime"	"180"
  Option	"MaxTapMove"	"220"
  Option	"VertScrollDelta" "100"
  Option	"MinSpeed"	"0.02"
  Option	"MaxSpeed"	"0.18"
  Option	"AccelFactor" "0.0010"
  Option	"SHMConfig"	"on"
#  Option	"Repeater"	"/dev/ps2mouse"
EndSection

Change the Identifier to the same name as in the ServerLayout section.
The Option "Repeater" is at the moment for testing.

6. Add the "CorePointer" option to the InputDevice line at the ServerLayout section:

Section "ServerLayout"
...
  InputDevice "Mouse[1]"  "CorePointer"
...

7. Start/Restart the X Server. If the touchpad doesn't work go to
step 8.

8. a) Check the XFree Logfiles
   b) Try to start the XServer with 'startx -- -logverbose 8' for more
      Output

9. If you want to be able to change driver parameters without
   restarting the X server, enable the "SHMConfig" option in the XFree
   configuration file. You can then use the "synclient" program to
   query and modify driver parameters on the fly.

If you can't get the driver working, mail the logfiles and the
configuration file to petero2@telia.com.
