I hope it is acceptable to send this also to the hackers list, due to the absence of traffic about touch pads on the questions list:
-------- Original Message -------- Subject: i-Buddie 4: Synaptics touch pad FreeBSD support? Date: Fri, 27 Sep 2002 00:40:48 +0200 From: Guido Van Hoecke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Newsgroups: gmane.os.freebsd.questions I am experimenting with FreeBSD to be prepared when my new i-Buddie 4 arrives. (Specs at http://desknote.biz/sub/spec-i-buddie4.htm). I wonder whether anybody has any experience with this new 'desknote' computer. I specifically would like support for the Synaptics touch pad, but did not find much in the FreeBSD documentation, nor in the ports collection. So I went to see at http://www.synaptics.com/support/downloads.cfm and found a pointer to a linux 'tpconfig' touch pad driver available at http://compass.com/synaptics/ which has not yet been ported to FreeBSD. So I tried to use this on my little FreeBSD testbox: ~/tpconfig-3.1.3 # ./configure loading cache ./config.cache checking for a BSD compatible install... (cached) /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking whether make sets ${MAKE}...

(cached) gcc checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... yes checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) is a cross-compiler... no checking whether we are using GNU C...
