KSynaptics is a control center module that enables users to take full advantage of their mobiles' synaptics touch pad. It depends on the XFree's synaptics driver and offers the following features:
*adjustable pressure sensitivity
*tapping configuration / smart tapping
*mouse button emulation
*circular scrolling
*smart mode
Check it out, if you prefer Qt, there's also an Qt-based version available.

DEVELOPMENT STOPPED - READ http://qsynaptics.sourceforge.net/
You can use touchfreeze instead...
NEW: ksynaptics 0.3.3
* new mouse button icons
* syndock would run in smart mode even if disabled in ksynaptics
NEW: libsynaptics 0.14.6c and ksynaptics 0.3.2
libynaptics has been rewritten and breaks backwards-compatibility (API and ABI).
Now the nasty syndock crash on KDE logouts should be addressed.
Please install libsynaptics prior to ksynaptics, I really do hope there's enough time left that feisty will get official debs in their repos :)
NEW: proposal for a new UI design which will be introduced by the next Qt4-based qsynaptics release.
Please drop me some comments on how to
change/improve it.
And yes, I really could use some helping hands there :)
(Note that you need to compile it with Qt4 and libsynaptics, though no functionality is implemented yet!)
* libsynaptics 0.14.6b fixes an autotool related compiler problem, please use it instead of 0.14.6a
NEW: libsynaptics 0.14.6a
* supports latest synaptics driver
NEW: libsynaptics 0.14.5a (debug)
* supports latest synaptics driver
NEW: ksynaptics-0.3.1 & libsynaptics 0.14.4d
fixing use cases when
*no driver is installed
*wrong driver version is installed
*no shm access possible
fixing message boxes
disabling menu items in syndock if pad is not accessible
disabling menu items in kcm when pad is not accessible / switched off
adapted to upcoming libsynaptics 0.14.4d
fixing a compilation issue with XOrg in libsynaptics
NEW: ksynaptics-0.3.0
*smart mode has been rewritten
*kcm and syndock depend on libsynaptics
*many bugfixes
*special thanks to mETz (Stefan Gehn) for working on syndock!
*code cleanups / bugfixes
NEW: ksynaptics-0.2.4
2005-28-10
*added german translation to ksynaptics.desktop
*added syndock.desktop for autostart on login (which is the recommended way to do it!)
*improved german translation
2005-06-11
*adapted to latest driver release ( 0.14.4 )
2005-19-12
*adapted to new libtool version
*added a warning text to the "general" tab page
This is a maintenance release without new features for those who want to use the latest (0.14.4) driver version.
If you use 0.14.3 you have to keep to ksynaptics version 0.2.3!
LIBSYNAPTICS
libsynaptics is an effort to eliminate version related problems in ksynaptics by providing upwards compatibility above new Xorg touch pad driver releases. This version of the library supports the latest driver version (0.14.4) only and will be updated on each driver release.
This release is done for experienced users and developers only, this is no new ksynaptics release (although the new, soon-coming ksynaptics release will depend on it!).
I encourage people having the latest driver version installed to download and test this version, and send me some feedback, for ensuring a less-buggy 0.3.0 release :)
Coming soon to a mirror next to you:

First, there is a thing with synparam.h in 3 files. On my computer I have synparams.h.
After that i have an error:
synconfigwidget.cpp:50: error: 'getInstance' is not a member of 'Synaptics::Pad'
Have no idea how to fix this.
Could you give me any help?

I just installed ksynaptics-0.3.1-3.fc6, ran it and got an error popup saying to add "UseShm" "true" in xorg.conf.
I did and it did not help. I then googled and found another place saying to instead use "SHMConfig" "on".
I did and that fixed the problem.

libsynaptics-0.14.6c
and Ksynaptic 3.3
and the horizantal scrolling wont stay off when i restart the x server..
the other scoll and other settings might be that way also..
its not that the settings change back to being on in the gui just in how the touch pad acts.. in the gui it shows off but its really on

that is because the X server applies its driver defaults on restart. No way to change that.
The settings are restored if you login KDE.
> its not that the settings change >back to being on in the gui just in >how the touch pad acts.. in the gui >it shows off but its really on
You could dump the touchpad state via 'synclient -l' both before and after running ksynaptics and see which parameters differ.
If the problem persists please mail me a detailed description at katakombi@gmail.com

I am working closely with a debian package manager to get exactly this goal achieved :)
There's a lot of work to do to improve the ease of 'out-of-the-installation-box compatibility' or what you'd like to call it...
