The mac trackpad has it's own kernel driver and is all relative mode. Luca's patch will make it work in absolute mode instead for use with X synaptic driver, thus providing more "features" than the default relative-mode one. So what we are looking for is a way to have the kernel driver switch between raw and ps2 modes based on instruction/ioctl from the userland client (the X synaptic driver). This shouldn't be much of a problem if the X synaptic driver switches it to raw at X start and on EnterVT and back to what it was on LeaveVT...
