Vertical scrolling through moving on the right side of the touchpad.
The up/down button sends button four/five events.
Horizontal scrolling through moving on the lower side of the touchpad.
The multi-buttons send button events for scrolling.
Adjustable finger detection.
Multifinger taps (Not all hardware implements this feature.)
Run-time configuration using shared memory.

This driver requires manual configuration of X.org/XFree86.
