Summary
Kinetic pointer Movement ... just give a nudge/push to the pointer on the touchpad and the pointer glides in that direction !!!
I believe its similar kinetic scroll except that instead of the page gliding(scrolling down as if it was spun on a wheel) the cursor moves/glides across the screen.
Feature details
I remember this worked on my synaptic touchpad(with their driver) in windows ... one had to just push the cursor using the touchpad and the pointer would glide in that direction ... there was an option to control the sensitivity / friction level ... lower the friction the faster the cursor would glide on the screen covering a longer distance ...
Affected Hardware
I remember this is possible on a Synaptic hardware/driver
Implementation in Other Systems
a few Kinetic scroll implementation are available for certain browser ... all android smartphones have this kinetic scroll across the device and application. Except that i am requesting for the cursor movement in place of the screen movement.
