Hi Dmitry -
Yes - we are planning on extending support for our new touchpads. As far as I know there is a Linux PS/2 driver in the works but I don't work with that group so I don't know anything about timeframes. I also don't know if it will be made open source or as a proprietary binary - or both. But we are definitely planning on supporting our PS/2 touchpads on Linux.
I will check into the Interfacing Guide and get back to you. The latest is on our web site (http://www.synaptics.com/developers/manuals) but it doesn't have info about multitouch in it. If there is a newer one I'll let you know.
Regards,
William

Could I also ask if you have any plans on extending support for the newer models of your touchpads (especially multi-touch ones) in the PS/2 version of the driver? Or maybe there is updated version of the Interfacing Guide that you could share with the community?
Thank you in advance,
Dmitry
