Package: gsynaptics Version: 0.9.14-6 Severity: important
I’ve used gsynaptics for a long time now on my Debian Etch system. Now I’ve installed Debian Lenny (completely new installation, no upgrade) and because I wanted to turn off tapping of my touchpad I installed the gsynaptics package. Now I wanted to add the SHMConfig option to /etc/X11/xorg.conf as I did on Debian Etch: Option "SHMConfig" "true" Strangely when I opened xorg.conf (naturally as root) I found my xorg.conf with very few lines. I didn’t worry about this because I thought it to be related to the new version of X.org in Lenny and copied the whole InputDevice section from my previous xorg.conf on Etch to the new xorg.conf on Lenny . But when I restarted the xserver, gsynaptics was still complaining that the SHMConfig option in xorg.conf is missing: GSynaptics couldn't initialize. You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics I don’t know if this is a bug of the xserver or the gsynaptic package but gsynaptic doesn’t work. Would be nice if you could fix this bug as far as possible because otherwise I have a unconfigurable touchpad. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_CH.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_CH.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gsynaptics depends on: ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgconf2-4 2.22.0-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.2-1 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.6-1+lenny1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.12-1~lenny1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii xserver-xorg-input- 0.14.7~git20070706-3 Synaptics TouchPad driver for X.Or gsynaptics recommends no packages. gsynaptics suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
