Title: syndaemon polls 5 times a second even though it is started with the -R XRecord extension option Status in The Ubuntu Power Consumption Project: Triaged Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “xserver-xorg-input-synaptics” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: syndaemon is polling at 5Hz even on an idle system. It is waking up the CPU and wasting power. However, it is running with -R option that should enable it to use XRecord which avoids polling, so I believe gnome-settings-daemon is doing the right thing. This used to work, I believe it was fixed for natty (see bug #633125), so it is a regressed on Oneric and it is also broken in Precise (I checked against today's daily build).
