- revived synaptics clickpad and LED patches
- fix / improve synaptics clickpad device handling (bnc#620000)
- fix right/middle-button capabilities for synaptics (bnc#620328)
- fix 64bit incompatibility in synaptics
- refreshed patches in synaptics
- disable unnecessary serial-retry patch for synaptics; this can
be rather problematic on some machines
- add filter-bogus-packet patch to make clickpad on some laptops
somehow usable (still pretty bad performance without the pending
multi-touch patch!) (bnc#624356)

- xf86-input-synaptics 1.3.0
* Just one more patch on top of the RC, a man page correction
that I should have pushed earlier. Other than that, the driver
looks reasonably stable and good enough to be pushed out.

- xf86-input-synaptics-xorg.conf.d_snippet.diff
* obsoletes 20-synaptics.conf

- xf86-input-aiptek 1.3.1
- xf86-input-elographics 1.2.4
* A long overdue update of the elographics drivers that includes
the build fixes for the new input APIs in use since server 1.7.
These fixes have been on the master branch for quite a while,
but no release has followed them.
- xf86-input-evdev 2.5.0
* No particularly exciting commits went in since the 2.4.0, evdev
is quite stable and boring - as it should be. So we have a few
memory leak fixes, man page updates, build system fixes and
other misc stuff. The only really new behaviour: middle mouse
button emulation is off by default.
- xf86-input-synaptics 1.2.99.901
* We've seen a lot of autotool cleanups and they constitute a
large part of the changes. This also means we require
util-macros 1.8. Some general fixes, the most important of
which have found their way into the 1.2.x stable releases.
* The most visible feature change is the new pointer accel
mechanism. Since the server got its new accel methods,
synaptics was accelerated twice - once in the driver, once
in the server. This lead to a really fast and sometimes
confusing pointer behaviour. This is fixed now but it does
lead to a slower pointer. We'll be trying to find some middle
ground there, possibly following the motto of "one size
doesn't quite fit anyone".
* The driver installs the xorg.conf.d snippet as well, assigning
itself to all touchpads by default. At this point I'd like to
point out again that "synaptics" is merely a historical name.
Under Linux, this is the generic touchpad driver for all
touchpads that are supported by the kernel.
* the default speed has been increased again after quite a few
complaints that the speed was too slow.
* the driver now defaults to two-finger emulation on if a valid
width is reported by the kernel.
* coasting is now enabled by default, using a friction parameter
to stop coasting after a bit.
- xf86-input-vmmouse 12.6.10
- obsoletes patches
* xf86-input-elographics.diff
- adjusted patches
* xf86-input-synaptics-retry-serial-open.diff
* xf86-input-synaptics-settings.diff
* xf86-input-synaptics-wait.diff
- disabled clickpad patches for now
* xf86-input-synaptics-add-clickpad-support
* xf86-input-synaptics-add-led-support
* xf86-input-synaptics-clickpad_blacklist_appletouch
