Introduction to Synaptics

This is a driver for the Synaptics TouchPad for XOrg/XFree86 4.x. A Synaptics touchpad by default operates in compatibility mode by emulating a standard mouse. However, by using a dedicated driver, more advanced features of the touchpad become available.

Configuring The Driver

In addition to reading the information below it may not be a bad idea to read the synaptics(5) man page.

The following configuration serves as an example only.

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier  "Synaptics Mouse"
    Driver      "synaptics"

    Option      "SHMConfig" "on"

    Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0"
    Option      "Protocol" "auto-dev"

    Option      "LeftEdge" "1200"
    Option      "RightEdge" "5600"
    Option      "TopEdge" "1200"
    Option      "BottomEdge" "4600"

    Option      "FingerLow" "25"
    Option      "FingerHigh" "30"

    Option      "MaxTapTime" "180"
    Option      "MaxTapMove" "220"

    Option      "TapButton1" "0"
    Option      "TapButton2" "0"
    Option      "TapButton3" "0"

    Option      "VertScrollDelta" "100"
    Option      "HorizEdgeScroll" "0"

    Option      "MinSpeed" "0.09"
    Option      "MaxSpeed" "0.18"

    Option      "AccelFactor" "0.0015"
EndSection

And in the ServerLayout section:

    InputDevice    "Synaptics Mouse" "AlwaysCore"

The SHMConfig is very useful for creating your initial setup. This allows you to change these values without needing to restart the X server. It is recommended that you keep this option on.
