+<para>The module automatically detects the touchpad and provides options for configuring its behaviour. The provided options are grouped into five categories:</para>

+</itemizedlist>
+
+<para>The available options depend on which driver is currently in use. This module supports the modern Libinput driver, as well as the older Synaptics driver. While the Synaptics driver is considered unmaintained, one may choose it over the newer Libinput driver if some feature they need is not supported by the Libinput driver and vice versa. For an overview of features supported by each driver see <link linkend="touchpad-drivers">Driver compatibility</link>.</para>

+<para>
+The <guilabel>adaptive</guilabel> profile is the default profile used by the Libinput driver. It takes the current speed of the device into account when deciding on acceleration.
+</para><para>
+The <guilabel>flat</guilabel> profile applies a constant factor to every pointer movement, regardless of the speed of motion, providing 1:1 movement between the
+pointer and the device. Techincally, each delta (dx, dy) results in an accelerated
+delta (dx * factor, dy * factor).

+<listitem><para>
+This option enables or disables the "tap-to-click" feature (also known as "tapping").
+With this option enabled, a tap on the touchpad is interpreted as a click.
+</para>
+<para>Several other features are also related to tapping, including tap-and-drag and
+multiple finger taps. These features can be configured via the rest of the options
+of this section. This option must be enabled for the rest to work.

+</varlistentry>
+
+<varlistentry>
+<term><guilabel>Tap-and-drag</guilabel></term>
+<listitem><para>
+This option enables or disables the "tap-and-drag" feature. Tap-and-drag is a short
+tap which is immediately followed by a longer tap, with the finger being then held
+down. This simulates a button press and moving the finger around can thus cause the
+the object under the mouse pointer to be dragged around. When the finger is lifted,
+the dragging is completed.
+</para></listitem>
+</varlistentry>
+
+<varlistentry>
+<term><guilabel>Tap-and-drag lock</guilabel></term>
+<listitem><para>
+This option modifies the behaviour of the tap-and-drag feature so that lifting
+a finger while dragging will not immediately stop dragging. Therefore, if you place
+the finger down on the touchpad again before a short while has passed, the dragging
+will resume from the place it was left.
+</para>
+<para>
+This option is disabled when the tap-and-drag feature is not enabled.

+<listitem><para>
+With this option you can choose whether the two-finger tap will invoke a middle click
+or a right click action. The three-finger tap is automatically assigned the other
+action.</para>
+<para>
+The default for this option is the right click. This means that a two-finger tap will
+emulate a right button click, whereas a three-finger tap will emulate a middle button
+click.
