Synaptics USB Hardware

home / code / synaptics-usb / hardware
I have collected some information about Synaptics USB Hardware in order to make a Linux driver for Synaptics USB touchpads. If you want to add something, please let me know. The Windows driver seems to support the following devices: 
	vid:pid    Description from SynPD.inf (Winows)
	-----------------------------------------------------
	06CB:0001  Synaptics USB TouchPad
	06CB:0002  Synaptics Integrated USB TouchPad
	06CB:0003  Synaptics cPad
	06CB:0006  Synaptics TouchScreen
	06CB:0007  Synaptics USB Styk
	06CB:0008  Synaptics USB WheelPad
	06CB:0009  If#= 0: Synaptics Composite USB TouchPad
	           If#= 1: Synaptics Composite USB TouchStyk
	06CB:0010  Synaptics Wireless TouchPad
	06CB:0013  Synaptics DisplayPad
I suppose Synaptics USB Styk is the same as the USB version of IBMs Trackpoint.
You can read the raw data packets from Synaptics USB Hardware with the program synaptics-test. If some buttons etc are not working with the kernel driver, you can use this program to find out wich bit in the data packets corresponds to the button. Currently I do not know anything about the data packets of the TouchScreen devices, synaptics-test can also be used to find out the meaning of the bytes in their data packets. If you figured this out with synaptics-test, please let me know, so I can add support for these devices in the kernel driver.
