Use advanced features of your Synaptics Trackpad on a laptop running FreeBSD [1] with:

• set in /boot/loader.conf:

  hw.psm.synaptics_support="1"

• set in /etc/rc.conf:

  moused_enable="YES"

• set in /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

  Section "InputDevice"
      Identifier      "Mouse0"
      Driver          "mouse"
      Option          "Protocol"      "auto"
      Option          "Device"        "/dev/sysmouse"
      Option          "ZAxisMapping"  "4 5 6 7"
  EndSection

If you want to have “MacBook” like two-finger scrolling along with other parameters you can set in /etc/sysctl.conf:

hw.psm.synaptics.vscroll_div_max=150

hw.psm.synaptics.weight_current=3
hw.psm.synaptics.weight_previous=6
hw.psm.synaptics.weight_previous_na=20
hw.psm.synaptics.weight_len_squared=2000

hw.psm.synaptics.div_min=9
hw.psm.synaptics.div_max=17
hw.psm.synaptics.div_max_na=30
hw.psm.synaptics.div_len=100
