/*
** Design/Goals
**     I want to use the Synaptics Serial touchpad as a cursor device under
**     Linux (gpm).  With this device I want to support operations similar
**     to those supported by the Synaptics WinDOS driver, and some others 
**     of my own devising.
**
** Features:
**     Corner Clicks
**         This recognizes taps on the touchpad in the corner(s) and
**         translates them into specific actions.  Initially I am looking
**         at actions on the order of alternate button clicks.  Other 
**         alternatives include drags and whatnot.
**     Edge Extensions
**         This recognizes that the finger has moved from the center region
**         of the touchpad and dragged to the edge area.  At which point
**         I want to be able to extend the motion by automatically moving 
**         in the direction of the edge.
**     Toss n Catch
**         This recognizes a quick motion of the finger on the touchpad and
**         uses that to define a velocity vector for the cursor.  A tap
**         on the touchpad at a later time catches (stops) the cursor.
**     Tap n Drag
**         A quick tap of the touchpad followed by finger motion on the 
**         touchpad initiates what would be a drag with a normal mouse
**         type device.
**     Pressure Sensitive Velocity
**         The Synaptics touchpad indicates the touch pressure of the finger
**         (really an interface area) this is used to accelerate the cursor
**         motion.  This can be used in the normal motion, Tap n Drag, or
**         Edge Extension modes.  In normal motion and Tap n Drag this may 
**         be awkward due to increased friction caused by the pressure.
