You may like to make various configurations to the touchpad, for example, to disable the feature that tapping the touchpad is like a mouse click. Fix: This port will not compile or work unless changes are made to the kernel - this is described at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=20352 This replaces the PR http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=21520 which is now out of date (and which was never committed). I really hope that one of you guys commits this soon, because I have contact with several people who want something like this.
Probably this port will never be committed (because as I understand at some stage the mouse drivers will be overhauled). But here is an update to tpconfig 3.1.2. Actually there is not advantage to this later version as far as I can see, but here it is anyway, as an attachment diff.
Is there any newer news on this pr?
Just in case anyone is using it, here is an update to a later version. Probably no functional difference for FreeBSD. But I did get rid of annoying feature in that the copyright message was missing a space. -- Stephen Montgomery-Smith stephen@math.missouri.edu http://www.math.missouri.edu/~stephen
This PR is still apparently awaiting the kernel change after all this time. I have submitted a followup to the kernel PR asking about its status.
Apparently there is some total rehaul of the mouse stuff in the kernel that will take place in the kernel at some time. After that, the synaptics touchpad port will become redundant. (Thanks for noticing the port I created.) Mark Linimon wrote: > This PR is still apparently awaiting the kernel change after > all this time.

State Changed From-To: open->suspended Mark suspended until something happens with kern/20352.
State Changed From-To: suspended->feedback kern/20352 is now closed and it seems support for synaptics touchpad has been fixed. Could you submit an updated version of the port and tell if it's working correctly with a quite recent FreeBSD ?
State Changed From-To: feedback->closed Closed at submitter's request.
