Re: xfree86-driver-synaptics

Thanks, I got ksynaptics running via KDE's control center. Here I 
enabled "circular scrolling".

It's a bit confusing; I'd have never expected to disable "gestures" by 
enabling "circular scrolling".

That doesn't work for my installation. I get this error message (same 
for user and root):

jw@johannes2:~$ synclient -l
Can't access shared memory area. SHMConfig disabled?

I couldn't find a configuration setting to enalble SHMConfig. The 
synclient programm appears to be part of xfree86-driver-synaptics.

dpkg-reconfigure -plow xfree86-driver-synaptics also doesn't show any 
options.

Anycase, now it seems to be working.
