duanedesign: I'm the original reporter and at present I don't believe this problem is a duplicate of bug 295236. The message reported is different and my problem started with Jaunty -- Intrepid was ok.
As far as I'm concerned the status of Fix Released is correct for this particular bug report--xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (source xfree86 -driver-synaptics) version 0.99.3-2ubuntu1 corrected this problem and 0.99.3-2ubuntu4 continues to work for me. To take advantage of this feature I can use the following command: syndaemon -i 2 -d Note that I'm not using a floating point -i value nor am I using the -S option, which would attempt to use shared memory. I'd be happy to report details of my configuration if that turns out to be helpful in determining why syndaemon is working without shared memory for me but not working for other commenters in bug 295236. ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 295236 Syndaemon: X Error of failed request: BadDevice -- syndaemon no longer works without SHMConfig https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/321355 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
