Package: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
Version: 0.14.7~git20070706-2.1
Severity: normal


It fails to load the synaptics module, checking the xorg log I get:
(cut'n'paste doesn't work, so I'm boringly manually reading and typing it):

(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules//synaptcs_drv.so
dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg/modules//synaptcs_drv.so: undefined symbol miPointerGetMotionEvents
(EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules//synaptcs_drv.so
...

I configured the device with this stanza in xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier	"Synaptics Touchpad"
	Driver		"synaptics"
	Option		"SendCoreEvents"	"on"
	Option		"Device"		"/dev/psaux"
	Option		"Protocol"		"auto-dev"
	Option		"HorizScrollDelta"	"0"
	Option          "SHMConfig"         "on"
EndSection

Finally if I try to run synclient I get:
stefano@geppetto ~> synclient -l
Can't access shared memory area. SHMConfig disabled?

when I explicitly enabled it in xorg.conf.

This trouble happened when I tried to switch from linux 2.6.22 to
linux 2.6.25 (debian prepackaged versions).

Let me know if you need more informations.

No further feedback, closing the bug.

If this can be reproduced with current kernels, please reopen this bug.
