Bug#514844: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics: SHMConfig should default to true not false in order to support configurator programs
Package: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
Version: 0.14.7~git20070706-3
Severity: normal
These days it is assumed that xorg should be useable with no configuration file, as the code will figure out the
configuration for itself. If you do this on a system with a Synaptics touchpanel it will (for the most part)
correctly configure the touchpanel.
But if you try to use the ksynaptics, it complains that SHMConfig is not set to true and therefore the
config program can not work.
The default should be set so that programs like ksynaptics can operate.
