What is the correct way to overide hal defaults?
I want to change the default settings for my synaptic touchpad in X. I tried changing /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/11-x11-synaptics.fdi but it keeps getting written over during upgrades. Is there a better way to do this so it won't get erased every time? Thanks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
