Okay. I don't believe it and even an "rgrep 'synclient'" in my /etc turned up nothing. I have also reinstalled the system about two days ago, so it is a perfect time to do some more testing. I haven't even restored my home directory yet. I just have an empty user with all of KDE and Xorg installed. > I prepared a modified package that should completely discard the > external-intervention-conspiracy :) > Package is at http://people.debian.org/~malattia/packages/ and includes > the below small patch to "hide" the SHMConfig struct in the driver and > modifies synclient to ask for confirmation when trying to change a > parameter value (so beware that X could hang waiting for an answer if > the conspiracy is taking place). > The .changes file is signed and you can check md5sums of files there. I am guessing that I need to run this with startx from console as starting from the kdm init script won't give me the stdout and stdin that I want so I can see the manual confirmation you added. Is this logic correct? BTW, how does this explain the scenario where 'synclient -l' shows the RightEdge set to 5980, but the edge scrolling doesn't work until I manually execute 'synclient RightEdge=5980' to set the option?
