Hello Everybody, I have developed a driver for the Touchpad device on Apple Macbooks. Mine is a Macbook 3,1, and I run FreeBSD7.2 on it--so testing has so far been limited to this configuration. In its present state, the driver supports multi-tap, edge detection, and movement smoothening. You may get the driver from git://github.com/rgrover/freebsd-atp.git. Instructions for installing and using the driver may be obtained from: http://wiki.github.com/rgrover/freebsd-atp I have put in significant work in the area of movement smoothening, and in setting up an infrastructure for tracking individual finger strokes (which may later be evolved into gesture detection). There may be potential for this code to form the basis for a generic touchpad driver. I have been using this driver for a few weeks now. It is stable. Please help me test this driver for a wider range of Apple hardware. I will also be porting this code to 8-CURRENT once I get that to boot on my MacBook. I would like to see this driver committed to FreeBSD. I request the committers to please guide me in this process. regards, Rohit.
