----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This document describes changes to the Synaptics TouchPad Driver for
Windows 9x & ME, Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Only external

tests, or for specific customer requests. These are not documented here.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 8.3.8 06/16/2006 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Removed unused registry keys - "ReverseScrolling" and "SwapScrollAxis".
-Added new PnP IDs and settings for OEM customers.
-Fixed a bug where the uninstaller won't remove log files when the
driver is uninstalled. This is only an issue if the user had ever
used the Diagnostic page to dump logs.
-Added an .ini file for an OEM customer with the setting to fix
the Styk S3/S4 resume/dribble packets issue that was resolved in
a previous version of the driver.

getting cut off in the Korean language at 120 DPI.

-Updated the setup error messages to include 'Vista'.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Fixed the German translations for some help strings.
-Changed some sub-languages to Unknown to match those in the control
panel so we will be able to find the correct languages for unknown
sub-languages.
-Fixed a bug where the second driver installation fails on Vista Beta2.
-Fixed a bug where the Styk sensitivity setting was lost after resume
from system stand-by/sleep. This bug only happens on a dual pointing

driver registry flag �RedetectPassThruOnResume� set to false.
-Added a new PnP Id and custom settings for an OEM customer.
-Updated a custom INF setting for an OEM customer.

for any customers that want to have these plugins show up in the
control panel Tap Zones action lists.

customer to customize DualMode TouchPad custom zone features.

plugins for customizing their DualMode TouchPad features.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Fixed a bug where the virtual scrolling flags could be incorrect in a
condition that the user logged in after the screen saver is activated. This
bug can only be triggered on a dual pointing system with the auto retation
feature turned on.

in this INF file is to set KeyboardController=1.
-Updated the Diagnostics page (secret page) to show the string
"Generic Legacy" for KeyboardController = 1 instead of "Unknown".
-Changed the KeyboardController setting for Unknown to GenericLegacy
and added a new NonMux type. Now, if the Diagnostics page shows
Unknown for the Keyboard Controller type it will really indicate
that the KeyboardController was not identified. Before, Unknown
could have meant either it was not identified OR that we didn't
even try to identify it.

to reflect the changes to the settings.
