Package: eeepc-acpi-scripts
Version: 1.1.10
Severity: wishlist
At least when using ASUS x101h eeepc, synclient doesn't actually do anything
as it fails with:
$ synclient -l
Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?
At the same time, it looks like that using xinput is actually the way of
handling input devices in current stable xserver-xorg, and using it allows
toggling touchpad and camera of x101h.
Patch attached to this bug report works for me, but obviously introduces an
extra dependency to eeepc-acpi-scripts.
