Thanks. Based on the following I do not know how to decide whether it  is
Synaptics.

This [1] old thread shows, on Linux it was recognized as Synaptics on the
same hardware back then.

Today on a recent Linux it does not show so:

BTW on NetBSD 9.1 Synaptics properties don't seem to be present
# sysctl -a | grep -i syna
