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.


Reason for this package: the synaptics package currently in Fedora is
discontinued upstream, with the maintainer having agreed to a relicensing the
source (from GPL to MIT). The new source is hosted in the X.Org repositories,
with a new maintainer. This package is merely a move of the synaptics package
to the new xorg-x11-drv-synaptics name to be in-line with other xorg packages.
The spec file is a merger of synaptics.spec, and the xorg-x11-drv-evdev.spec
(for xorg-related information).
