SHMConfig not working in Lenny

Hi to all; I wanted to get the Syndaemon to work in Lenny, so that my touchpad is disabled while typing, and for some reason I can't get the SHMConfig to be acknowledged properly. It is set to true in my xorg.conf file, and it worked in Etch, but now I get a: Can't access shared memory area.
