Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
I am trying to use synclient to adjust settings for my touchpad, but it
doesn't work.
$ synclient -l
Can't access shared memory area. SHMConfig disabled?
When I look in the man page I see this:
This program lets you change your Synaptics TouchPad driver for
XOrg/XFree86 server parameters while X is running if you enabled SHM‐
Config "on" in your XOrg/XFree86 configuration.
My xorg.conf file shows:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "HorizEdgeScroll" "0"
Option "SMHConfig" "on"
EndSection
