Bug#469166: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics: syndaemon's main loop has a hard-coded poll frequency
Package: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
Version: 0.14.7~git20070517-2
Severity: wishlist
*** Please type your report below this line ***
syndaemon's main loop is hard-coded to sleep for 20 milliseconds between
polling. This causes a significant amount of 2 * 50 cpu wakeups per
second (as seen on powertop).
Since syndaemon is mainly useful with laptops, I would like to see this
changed or (optimally) made configurable.
