    [PATCH] USB: add apple usb touchpad driver · f7214ff4
    Stelian Pop authored
    This is a driver for the USB touchpad which can be found on post-February 2005
    Apple PowerBooks.
    
    This driver is derived from Johannes Berg's appletrackpad driver [1],
    but it has been improved in some areas:
        * appletouch is a full kernel driver, no userspace program is necessary
        * appletouch can be interfaced with the synaptics X11 driver[2], in order
          to have touchpad acceleration, scrolling, two/three finger tap, etc.
    
    This driver has been tested by the readers of the 'debian-powerpc' mailing
    list for a few weeks now and I believe it is now ready for inclusion into the
    mainline kernel.
    
    Credits go to Johannes Berg for reverse-engineering the touchpad protocol,
    Frank Arnold for further improvements, and Alex Harper for some additional
    information about the inner workings of the touchpad sensors.
