I am already very pleased that I can use the standard ps/2 mouse driver to use the touch pad. I had to use moused_enable="NO" in my /etc/rc.conf and use Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/psm0" Option "Emulate3Buttons" to have the mouse working properly, and was happy that this also took care of the touch pad. The windoze driver offers a set of extra features which I found useful and which I would appreciate on a FreeBSD box: - configurable touch behaviour - edge motion - scrolling - button actions (including virtual btns supplied by the 4 corners) I'm very willing to supply more info on these features. I have no idea whether any of these are supplied by the tpconfig stuff. The only feature I found any mention of in that package, is the ability to disable the 'tap to click'. But maybe that is just a lack of documentation. -- Guido Van Hoecke <Guido@VanHoecke.org> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
