Synaptics trackpad

[Cág <ca6c%bitmessage.ch@localhost>]

The version of xf86-input-synaptics in wip is 1.2.1; it cannot be
compiled because of LocalDevicePtr errors ('unknown type name'); now
the latest version is 1.9.0, and it can't be compiled because it can't
find sys/mouse.h. What is sys/mouse.h? A quick search reveals that it
exists on QNX and FreeBSD, but then how can the driver be compiled on
other platforms? There was a similar discussion from 2015[0], but it
gives more questions than answers.

Synaptics can work with the generic, xf86-input-mouse, driver. But the
behavior is far from desirable: taps are recognized as clicks and there
is no way to disable it, there's no scrolling (side/two-finger, natural,
circular).

There is a new driver, libinput, but it doesn't exist in pkgsrc.

What are the options left? People who use NetBSD on their laptops, how
do you configure your trackpad? Those with Synaptics, do you have the
same issues? Does scrolling work for anybody? I noticed that trackpad
experience is different for everybody.

Thanks in advance
