Hi, I have a simple proof of concept script for controlling the Sentelic touchpad, attached it if it is usefull to someone. In principle it allows me to turn on/off the whole device or particular features such as vertical/horizontal scroll or tap-click - and thus making the device much more tolerable. It has somewhat nasty preconditions: requires either root privs for the scroll/click control or Xserver access for enabling/disabling :( So I am not sure how it could be intergated into the desktop. Another interesting thing I found is "evdaemon" - http://codegrove.org/evdaemon/, did not try it yet but looks like it could do everything what syndaemon can do and a few other interesting things without beeing limitted to any particular device.
