From 8491ee1093c476ea3a9a19ab8593d8531cab40f7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Steinhoff Date: Fri, 3 Feb 2012 00:21:31 -0800 Subject: Input: add Synaptics USB device driver This patch adds a driver for Synaptics USB touchpad or pointing stick devices. These USB devices emulate an USB mouse by default, so one can also use the usbhid driver. However, in combination with special user space drivers this kernel driver allows one to customize the behaviour of the device. An extended version of this driver with support for the cPad background display can be found at .
