I dislike the fact that tapping the mousepad is like pressing a mouse button. So I attempted to port the program tpconfig available at http://www.compass.com/synaptics/ It seems to require a device that is the raw mouse, which as far as I can figure is not available on FreeBSD (it uses /dev/psaux on Linux). >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: I was able to provide a new ioctl for the psm device that was sufficient to get tpconfig to work. Lets face it, I didn't know what I was doing - I just ramaged around the code and scrounged something together. But it really seems to serve my purposes. Maybe it could be done better. Or maybe other people just don't care for it - I put a feeler out on freebsd-mobile and noone else seemed to care. Or maybe there is something already there that will do what I want. But if you should choose to add something like this to the kernel, I will port tpconfig to the ports collection.
