Yes, I could, but it will take a while, since I don't have the possibility of downloading and burning a disc with the latest Ubuntu - I'm currently on a business trip. I can already tell you that I had a similar problem when I used 7.10 and compiled my own custom kernel based on the old configuration, see e.g.
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/synaptics-touchpad- not-detected-688892/ http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1008358 I don't know whether the problems are related but in both cases my mouse refused to work. In 7.10 with the different non-Ubuntu kernel I did not get the error message that concerned SHMConfig, which I am getting now. --- On Mon, 14/9/09, Kamus <[email protected]> wrote: From: Kamus <[email protected]> Subject: [Bug 417084] Re: touchpad does not work after upgrade To: [email protected] Date: Monday, 14 September, 2009, 11:34 PM Thank you astrotrain, could be possible that you try to reproduce this problem in latest ubuntu version (at least in a live cd session) like Jaunty or Karmic? -- touchpad does not work after upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/417084 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. Status in “xserver-xorg-input-synaptics” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: After the upgrade from 7.10, where my synaptics touchpad was automatically recognized, to 8.04 (online) my touchpad stopped working. When clicking on GSynaptics I get that I should set "SHMConfig" to "true" in xorg.conf, which I have done, but that does not help. "synclient -l" gives the the answer that I don't have access to shared memory and asks whether SHMConfig is disabled. I have added the *.fdi file according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad#shmconfig, but nothing seems to help. laptop: bios-version:NOTE BIOS Version /358A1200 system-manufacturer:NEC Computers International system-product-name:VERSA P520 system-version:NN671799905 uname: Linux *pcname* 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 13:23:42 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux version signature: Ubuntu 2.6.24-16.30-generic -- touchpad does not work after upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/417084 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
