DESCRIPTION

qsynaptics is a simple QT based configuration frontend for the
excellent synaptics touchpad driver which can be found at
http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340/touchpad/

qsynaptics requires this driver installed, please check above URL
for detailed description how to install it!


REQUIREMENTS

    * latest QT Designer (3.2) and QT 3.2 to develop / compile
        the project. Maybe you are lucky with an oder version, too...

    * Synaptics Touchpad driver http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340/touchpad/
        this means "synclient" and "syndaemon" should be in your path

    * the program makes use of the following commands:
        sh, ps, grep, tr, whereis, xdpyinfo, cut, sed, killall
        Most systems should be capable of those

    * X shared memory configurability needs to be enabled in XF86Config.
        This is achieved by passing the option "ShmConfig" "on" in the
        synaptics' input section


INSTALL

    + change into the source directory
    + run "qmake"
    + run "make"


BUGS, QUIRKS, MISSING FEATURES

    + behaviour of smart mode is somewhat buggy, when you disable the
      touchpad. This needs a more careful implementation...

If you have comments / bugs /etc please send an email to katakombi@web.de
