Synaptics trackpad swap

Some people are really picky about their trackpads. [John] posted a guide on retrofitting a Synaptics pad in place of the newer, but less user friendly ALPS touchpad/stick combo used in the Dell Inspiron 8200. On the opposite end, [C. Järnåker], loves laptop keyboards enough to mod them for use on his desktop machine.





Well I guess I know what I am doing with my old keyboard from my digital picture frame. Anyone got any ideas on how to use a synaptic mouse on a desktop? Could I just turn it into a serial mouse or ps/2 mouse and use synaptic drivers? Anyone know what the read out on these things are? (or willing to help a noob hacker to figure it out himself) email me at ecuador.pall at gmail
