When I did the port of the xfree driver, I only had gpm 1.20.0 with me. I didn't expect that 1.20.1 would have changed so much. In anycase, I quickly tried it out (after using emacs to untabify the gpm-syn.conf) and I _still_ prefer the xfree86 driver characteristics. Things that I still didn't like even with your new gpm: 1. Corner tapping still doesn't work for me. I expect a change to the edge limit values would fix this. 2. The mouse would sporadically move across the screen during a tap; this is VERY irritating. I have no clue what causes this. 3. My pad has left and right buttons, and then a button in the middle for up and down. GPM still maps this as left, right, middle and fourth, which I don't find very useful. 4. Somehow, the two and three-finger tap detection with the xfree driver (and port) never fails me, whereas on the new GPM this has happened often. This must be a fault on my part, as both my port and the new GPM make use of the hardware multi-finger detection. Could it be some of the extra software logic that you use? I expect that these things can be generally alleviated by mucking around in the config. I find 3 strange, as your new code has the "four_way_button_enabled" config param which is active by default. This probably refers to something else then. AFAIK, I have a firmware 5.6 sensor model 18 Synaptics touchpad. In anycase, I think that the work you have done is really great! However, for now I'm going to stick to my very simple patch as It Works For Me(tm). I'm still going to keep an eye on your progress...
