I installed yesterday 0.14.7~git20070706-2.1.lenny1, I removed the InputDevice section and the ServerLayout section from xorg.conf, and indeed, the problem is fixed. The problem is that I need to readd the InputDriver section since, by default, 'SHMConfig' is not 'true' and gsynaptics and other synaptics configuration tools don't work. Is there a security reason why this option isn't already true, by default? Is changing this to be the default difficult? -- Regards, EddyP = "Imagination is more important than knowledge" A.Einstein -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
