:
: 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.

: finger on the right side of the touchpad.

: * 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.
