For example, one might like to make it so that tapping the touchpad is not like clicking a mouse button. I wrote a port for the program tpconfig that appears on http://www.compass.com/synaptics/ but it required an additional ioctl for the mouse, that is, it required a patch to the kernel. I submitted a couple of PR's viz http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=21520 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=20352 (one for the port and one for the kernel change) but I never heard back from anyone.
