Bug#469166: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics: syndaemon's main loop has a hard-coded poll frequency
The patch looks correct as far as it goes, but it doesn't seem
actually to fix any problem. In particular, few will know to
set the "-f" option, and the default is as ill-chosen as the
hard-coded value was. Why should it poll more than 5 times/s?
Indeed, why should it poll at all? Might it not better wake only
when there is a relevant event? Changing the compiled-in value
from 20000 to 200000 might be an improvement. The correct fix
would have no use for a "-f" argument at all.
