Synaptics Touchpad configuration
acottag
I am trying to put my laptop Synaptics Touchpad to work with the
GSynaptics package. The trouble shooting guide says it's needed to
include "Load "synaptics"" inside a "Module" section, in the X server
configuration file. Since the file xorg.conf doesn't have any "Module"
section, I wonder if someone has a suggestion for its definition.
Thank you.

First hit, from the Ubuntu forums, a working entry:

I changed xorg.conf as suggested. The following error message still
appears:
"GSynaptics couldn't initialize.
You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use
GSynaptics"
The xorg.conf is as follows:
# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool,
using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades
*only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically
updated
# again, run the following command:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

Another quick Google search led me to this troubleshooting
advice: "Click up a terminal window and type...
xinput list
... to see whether your device was recognized."
Also, is /syndaemon/ running?

Hello,
Finally I made to configure and use GSynaptics... yes, just read the
READMEs for "gsynaptics" and "xserver-xorg-input-synaptics" packages.
Best regards.

Hello,
I went to the site suggested, but I didn't found information regardig
parts to be used with xoscope.
Probably it's a good ideia to post in a electronics related newsgroup.
Best regards.

If you hava hal and xserver-xorg-input-synaptics installed, hal should take care
of configuring the input. of course it should be started during boot sequence.
