[PATCH] [2.5.68] [BUG #18] Add Synaptics touchpad tweaking to psmouse driver

From: Stuffed Crust (pizza@shaftnet.org)
Date: Mon Apr 21 2003 - 21:46:28 EST

One of the side-effects of the new input layer is that the old usermode
tools for manipulating the touchpad configuration don't work any more.

Most importantly, the ability to disable the tap-to-click "feature".
And this has been long-recognized, as bug #18. :)

So, here's my crack at scratching this itch. it defaults to disabling
the tap-to-click, but there's a module parameter to re-enable it.

I started writing this from the perspective of a full-native synaptics
driver, using the absolute mode of operation, which will let us do all
sorts of yummy things like corner taps and virtual scroll wheels and
sensitivity and whatnot... Anyone else working on this, before I wade
further in?

All of the new code is wrapped in #ifdef SYNAPTICS.

It should work on all models of the touchpad, old and new, but I've only
tested this on my rev5.7 touchpad (Dell Inspiron 4100)

Feedback welcome!
