Package: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics Version: 0.14.7~git20070706-2 Severity: wishlist
Hullo good people of Debian! I looked about for this bug and, although it's not important, I wanted to make sure that the establishment was aware of it. I have read that Xorg is moving away from /etc/X11/xorg.conf dependence in favour of automagic hardware detection. This is super. However, when I installed and configured Xorg on my laptop, Xorg -configure failed to recognise or install the xserver-xorg-input-synaptics TouchPad driver onto my machine, favouring the generic 'mouse' driver instead. Consequently, I had to rewrite the xorg.conf file myself to enable the TouchPad driver support. I wish, therefore, for Xorg -configure to detect Synaptic TouchPads on computers automatically and add whatever lines are necessary to xorg.conf.
