Qingy (general directfb) Synaptics touchpad problem solution

As some of you may know, Qingy (and quite possibly other DirectFB apps.) has some issues using Synaptics touchpad.

Few ours ago I googled a fix for this issue. Can't remember the page, but the solution is as simple as adding line

disable-module=linux_input

to /etc/directfbrc

From what I remeber from that forgotten page, there is some bug in synaptics driver and therefore disabiling linux_input module will force DirectFB to fallback to some general PS/2 driver.  (Don't quote me on this :-) )

Mouse is fine, but don't expect touchpad specials to be working. Tapping has flaws, tap-drag does not work at all, etc...

Hope this post will be useful to someone ;-)

What happened to Arch's KISS? systemd sure is stupid but I must have missed the simple part ...

... and who is general Failure and why is he reading my harddisk?
