Hi,
When I try to open ksynaptics it tells me that SHMConfig "on" needs to be in my xorg.conf. I did add that , following the instructions in the wiki, but I have an XF86config file since I used the nvidia config utility. I added a symbolic link from xorg.xonf to XF86config but ksynaptics still complains that SHMConfig is not enabled. I also tried copying XF86config to xorg.conf with no success. Any other ideas?
cheers,

try "true" or "yes" instead of on. it always took me four or five tries to get it right in ubuntu. and, of course, you have to restart x, at least, and maybe even your machine. (still might not work. pain in the ass, that mess.)

arghh, I tried true and yes and even rebooted between it with no luck! According to the ubuntu forums, "on" is correct. What I'm wondering now is if the xorg.conf is pointing to the right device for the touchpad? Is there someway to check that?

i doubt i can help. i just realized my touchpad isn't even listed in xorg.conf (and yet, it still works).

Same problem here - can't get tapping and scrolling to work.

All inputs are now Handled by HAL, no more inputs stuff in xorg.conf
save this to /etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-x11-synaptics.fdi

I did so, also commented out whole touchpad device section in xorg.conf. Unfortunately what was working (eg. two finger scrolling) still does, however GSynaptics is still unaccesible.

Maby a bit of a stupid question, but are you sure that the in section in your xorg.conf, containing the synaptics settings, your 'identifier' is set correctly??
like this:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "X.org Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
This means my synaptics section should start with:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "synaptics"
I hope this helps..

I don't know whats wrong, all he need is <merge key="input.x11_options.SHMConfig" type="string">true</merge> in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-x11-synaptics.fdi

I disabled hotpluggind by adding
Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"
to xorg.conf. Finally every option i want is working correctly.
