Hi. I'm running the latest xserver stuff on unstable, using a hal policy file for my touchpad and it works without problems. I believe this is the recommended way to do things.
A couple of things you can do: - run hal from the command line - i.e. do something like (as root): /etc/init.d/hal stop hald --daemon=no --verbose=yes and search the output for the name of your policyfile. That should tell you if hal found an error. - there is a line in the policyfile like this: <match key="info.product" contains="ALPS"> the value of 'contains' should be 'Synaptics' or 'ALPS' depending on what hardware you have. My fdi policyfile looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.touchpad"> <match key="info.product" contains="ALPS"> <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">synaptics</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.SHMConfig" type="string">on</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton1" type="string">1</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton2" type="string">2</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton3" type="string">3</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.LeftEdge" type="string">0</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.RightEdge" type="string">900</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.TopEdge" type="string">0</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.BottomEdge" type="string">640</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.FingerLow" type="string">7</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.FingerHigh" type="string">8</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.MaxTapTime" type="string">180</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.MinTapTime" type="string">110</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.ClickTime" type="string">0</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateMidButtonTime" type="string">75</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.VertScrollDelta" type="string">20</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.HorizScrollDelta" type="string">20</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.MinSpeed" type="string">0.40</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.MaxSpeed" type="string">0.65</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.AccelFactor" type="string">0.030</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.EdgeMotionMinSpeed" type="string">200</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.EdgeMotionMaxSpeed" type="string">200</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.UpDownScrolling" type="string">1</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.CircularScrolling" type="string">1</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.CircScrollDelta" type="string">0.1</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.CircScrollTrigger" type="string">3</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.VertEdgeScroll" type="string">on</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.Emulate3Buttons" type="string">on</merge> <merge key="input.x11_options.LockedDrags" type="string">0</merge> </match> </match> </device> </deviceinfo> My Xorg.conf is: # Minimalistic xorg.xonf.
