+
+This driver adds support for the multi-touch trackpad on the new Apple
+Macbook Air and Macbook Pro laptops. It replaces the appletouch driver on
+those computers, and integrates well with the synaptics driver of the Xorg
+system.
+
+Known to work on Macbook Air, Macbook Pro Penryn and the new unibody
+Macbook 5 and Macbook Pro 5.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+The driver loads automatically for the supported usb device ids, and
+becomes available both as an event device (/dev/input/event*) and as a
+mouse via the mousedev driver (/dev/input/mice).
+
+USB Race
+--------
+
+The Apple multi-touch trackpads report both mouse and keyboard events via
+different interfaces of the same usb device. This creates a race condition
+with the HID driver, which, if not told otherwise, will find the standard
+HID mouse and keyboard, and claim the whole device. To remedy, the usb
+product id must be listed in the mouse_ignore list of the hid driver.
+
+Debug output
+------------
+
+To ease the development for new hardware version, verbose packet output can
+be switched on with the debug kernel module parameter. The range [1-9]
+yields different levels of verbosity. Example (as root)::
+
+    echo -n 9 > /sys/module/bcm5974/parameters/debug
+
+    tail -f /var/log/debug
+
+    echo -n 0 > /sys/module/bcm5974/parameters/debug
+
+Trivia
+------
+
+The driver was developed at the ubuntu forums in June 2008 [#f1]_, and now has
+a more permanent home at bitmath.org [#f2]_.
