>Description:
The default pms driver in dev/pckbport doen't take full advantages of the Synaptics touchpads.  On my Fujitsu P7010, the Up/Down button does not function, because Synaptics touchpads will not send the information unless the OS sends a few PS/2 packets and puts it in Absolute mode.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Ales Krenek wrote a patch for NetBSD 2.0 that puts the touchpad in the correct mode, along with tap and tap/drag support code.  I've cleaned it up substantially, and added support for additional buttons and tuning via sysctl.

Original patch: http://www.ics.muni.cz/~ljocha/netbsd.html
New and improved patch: http://www.sigusr1.org/~kurahone/synaptics-netbsd-2.99.11.diff.gz

I'm using it right now, and it seems to work fine.
