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.
Thanks, Mike
