[Solved] Synaptics options not being saved

When i manually set options in /etc/x11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf they aren't being used by the driver.  The only way i have found to save settings is by changing them via synclient.  The problem with this is that synclient doesn't save your options.

I made a script that sets my touchpad settings after gnome 3 kicks in, i've tried
running it from rc.local
and running the commands from ~/.xinitrc, before and after gnome 3 launches.
I never could get it to work, i did find out that synclient has to be run after x is started.

Can anyone help me out by either pointing out where synaptic pulls its settings or by showing me where the best place to run a startup script after x starts would be .  Any help is much appreciated.  Also it's almost 3am here so typos/logic not expected to be in tip-top shape.

tldr; touchpad settings won't save.

Yeah im using synclient and its not saving to 10-synaptics.conf like the article says it should.


Nvm, gnome 3 was setting its own options, had to disable that for 10-synaptics.conf to pick up.
