Public bug reported: Problem: After a Live CD install of 7.10 Gutsy on ASUS C90S notebook most, but not all, function keys work.
1) Inspection of ACPI log shows message "... is SHMConfig installed?" 2) Examining /etc/acpi/asus-touchpad.sh script shows that 'synclient -l' output is needed to build the shell command to toggle the touchpad. 3) At the command line, 'synclient -l' outputs "Can't access shared memory area. SHMConfig disabled?" 4) Added 'Option "SHMConfig" "on" into xorg.conf as follows: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad" Driver "synaptics" Option "SendCoreEvents" "true" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Protocol" "auto-dev" Option "HorizScrollDelta" "0" Option "SHMConfig" "on" EndSection 5) Restart X and touchpad function key toggle works. Conclusion: Have Ubuntu Gutsy setup add necessary line to config on intial installation.
