Re: What is up with xorg.conf
Hi, I have a question with the X config, in particular with "Input Configuration with HAL".
I want to disable the tapping of my touchpad and leave enable the move and the scroll.
I have installed the program Ksynaptics (from a previous version of kubuntu) but when i open it, it returns this message:
"Shared memory is not accessible, please add the option 'SHMConfig "on"' into the touchpad section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
So because of in Kubuntu 8.10 there is no xorg.conf but all is managed by a HAL xml file config I tried to modify them.
So, like suggested in this guide:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config#Inp...n%20with%20HAL
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sy...hpad#shmconfig
I add a file, called "shmconfig.fdi" under the directory /etc/hal/fdi/policy/
In this file I wrote this:
in order to enable the SHMConfig, in this way in theory i can use the program "Ksynaptics" to obtain my purpose (disable tapping), but when I add this shmconfig.fdi, the program returns this message:
"No usable driver has been found! Either your driver is not correctly installed or you are using a wrong version. You need at least driver version 0.14.4"
But my driver is 0.15.2 version..
Maybe the Ksynaptics is not able to work under Kubuntu 8.10?? The last version were for Gutsy Gibbon but it works under Hardy..but i'm not sure that it works under Intrepid (I compiled the source code of the program). In this case how can I disable the tapping of my touchpad??
PS: I decide to append my problem in this topic because i think it is correlate with the "new" xorg.conf..Otherwise I'm sorry and I can open a new topic.
