Bug#510477: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics: synclient -m does not work as expected

[tilo@tilo-schwarz.de]

Package: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
Version: 0.14.7~git20070706-3
Severity: normal

Hi,

when I do 

> synclient -m 1
    time     x    y   z f  w  l r u d m     multi  gl gm gr gdx gdy
   0.000     1 5855   0 0  0  0 0 0 0 0  00000000   0  0  0   0   0

I just get the one line as shown above, nothing more is printed. When I read the man page, I get the impression there should be more 
lines coming to monitor the touchpad (what I was trying to do). But synclient seems to work otherwise:

> synclient -l | head
Parameter settings:
    LeftEdge                = 1872
    RightEdge               = 100
    TopEdge                 = 1712
    BottomEdge              = 4144
    FingerLow               = 25
    FingerHigh              = 30
    FingerPress             = 256
    MaxTapTime              = 180
    MaxTapMove              = 220


Regards,

	Tilo
