I have a synaptics driver designed for tadpole sparc systems, that
carries a tadpole copyright, but tadpole has given me permission to push
it into Solaris. I've not done this as, quite frankly, I've never had

If someone within Sun has the necessary expertise (i8042, X11) and wants
to work on it, please let me know.
