Various gestures works out of the box on Linux and Windoze (including two finger scroll horizontal and vertical, pan, zoom, rotate, etc). On FreeBSD I did not manage to make it work neither with hw.psm.synaptics (seems like protocol out-of-sync), x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics (the same problem as with psm protocol error), nor x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev :-( After working on MacBookPro Trackpad I do not imagine working without trackpad gestures anymore. Scrollbars are auto-hiding now and it really distracts to search and click-to-scroll (its so 90's). I only use mouse for CAD when really necessary.. I did not have this problem on any other laptop, usually at least two finger scroll worked with psm (but still not with the Apple's Trackpad quality). Best regards :-) Tomek ps/2: +1 for Bluetooth connectivity, preferably A2DP sound streaming to a bluetooth speaker, I saw other folks also find it useful :-) -- CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info
