tags 576719 + patch thanks I also ran into this problem after upgrading xserver-xorg-core to version 2:1.7.6-2 I'm using a customized udev rule to set two options for the touchpad on my laptop, using "x11_options.*" environment variables: bjorn@nemi:~$ udevadm info --query=all --path=/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input6/event6 P: /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input6/event6 N: input/event6 S: char/13:70 S: input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-1-event-mouse E: UDEV_LOG=3 E: DEVPATH=/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input6/event6 E: MAJOR=13 E: MINOR=70 E: DEVNAME=/dev/input/event6 E: SUBSYSTEM=input E: ID_INPUT=1 E: ID_INPUT_MOUSE=1 E: ID_INPUT_TOUCHPAD=1 E: ID_SERIAL=noserial E: ID_PATH=platform-i8042-serio-1 E: x11_driver=synaptics E: x11_options.SHMConfig=on E: x11_options.TapButton1=1 E: DMI_VENDOR=LENOVO E: DEVLINKS=/dev/char/13:70 /dev/input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-1-event-mouse AFAIK, this is currently the only way to configure the synaptics driver, and I do need at least the TapButton1 configuration. The attached patch enhances the udev backwards compatibilty by adding any "x11_options." prefixed option to the config. I really don't have a clue whether this is a good idea or not, but it does at least restore the previous behaviour for me. YMMV Bjørn

Subject: Keep looking for x11_options in udev for now
Our drivers don't ship xorg.conf.d snippets for now, so keep using
x11_options from udev in the transition period.
