There seems to be no indication in synaptics USB kernel driver about "easycat/smartcat" (drivers/input/mouse). Next "roundabout" question would be, given the FAQ page says an "alike" OS works: "... and the USB Cirque Smart Cat® (GP410U-xxxx) ... are recommended Cirque trackpad for the Macintosh OS. * Mac OS 8.5 or later is required for both of these trackpads. * Mac OS X or later is required for the vertical scrolling feature." how far can I assume linux kernel would recognize it too? I know that whereas usually linux isn't specified, but mac is, there is a good chance a device would work with both mac and linux... > >> Do the 4-buttons work?
