Description David Demelier 2010-07-14 10:30:06 UTC 
When using x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics under FreeBSD, the user must modify some files to make it works. And a such beginner user shouldn't be able to do it easily.

1° If the user do not set `Option      "Protocol" "psm"' in the xorg.conf, the driver won't work.

2° The user need to add `hw.psm.synaptics_support="1"' to the loader.conf to make it works too.

And xf86-input-synaptics does not tell anything about it, I wrote a short summary about these settings in a pkg-message.

Please tell me if you agree.

Seriously this PR is still open? It is 4 years old and it was just a pkg-message. I'm even not sure if it is still relevant with the new versions of Xorg...

It apparently ended up in Nirvana due to auto-assignment to an address nobody cared about... closing it.
