May be the attached patch for psm(4) will be good? I had seen some
people who also tried to use sysctl here, because
"hw.psm.synaptics_support" looks like sysctl node name and psm(4) was
not explicitely stating where it should be set.

Subject: [PATCH] psm(4): rephrase explanations about Synaptics support
The previous explanation said 'at boot-time' and could be a bit unclear
to people who aren't very familiar with the kenv, loader.conf and the
company. Explicit words about /boot/loader.conf and the need for
rebooting are a bit better ;))
