This package provides an input driver for the x.org x server to enable advanced features of the synaptics touchpad including:

* 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 (see synclient(1)).
* it also provides a daemon to disable touchpad while typing at the keyboard
and thus avoid unwanted mouse movements (see syndaemon(1)).
this package provides debugging symbols for this xorg x driver.
