Bug#495673: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics: undefined symbol miPointerGetMotionEvent when loading synaptics_drv.so
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.
