+This is a driver for the Synaptics TouchPad for XOrg/XFree86 4.x. 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 on the touchpad.
+ Middle and right button events on the corners of the touchpad.
+ Vertical scrolling through moving on the right side of the touchpad.
+ The up/down button sends button four/five events.
+ Horizontal scrolling through moving on the lower side of the touchpad.
+ The multi-buttons send button events for scrolling.
+ Adjustable finger detection.
+ Multifinger taps (Not all hardware implements this feature.)
+ Run-time configuration using shared memory.
+
+This driver requires manual configuration of X.org/XFree86. Review the INSTALL
+file in /usr/doc/synaptics-<version>
