Hi list,

On squeeze/testing, when I set things like two finger scrolling in
the hal config files (as below), X does not pick this up. Setting
the options in xorg.conf does work. Any idea? Thanks!

do you have the input device definition in xorg.conf as well? afaik Xorg
will not merge the two things

No, I deleted any reference from xorg.conf

/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/11-x11-synaptics.fdi and added

        <merge key="input.x11_options.SHMConfig" type="string">On</merge>
        <merge key="input.x11_options.VertTwoFingerScroll" 
type="string">1</merge>
        <merge key="input.x11_options.HorizTwoFingerScroll" 
type="string">1</merge>

to the synaptics section. When checking lshal, it all seems to work

udi = 
'/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX_port_logicaldev_input'
  info.capabilities = {'input', 'input.touchpad'} (string list)
  info.category = 'input'  (string)
  info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX_port'  
(string)
  info.product = 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad'  (string)
  info.subsystem = 'input'  (string)
  info.udi = 
'/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX_port_logicaldev_input'  
(string)
  input.device = '/dev/input/event13'  (string)
  input.originating_device = 
'/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX_port'  (string)
  input.product = 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad'  (string)
  input.x11_driver = 'synaptics'  (string)
  input.x11_options.HorizTwoFingerScroll = '1'  (string)
  input.x11_options.SHMConfig = 'On'  (string)
  input.x11_options.VertTwoFingerScroll = '1'  (string)
  linux.device_file = '/dev/input/event13'  (string)
  linux.hotplug_type = 2  (0x2)  (int)
  linux.subsystem = 'input'  (string)
  linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/class/input/input13/event13'  (string)

yet in X it doesn't. Two-finger scrolling does not work, and trying
synclient of gsynaptics gives a message like

Can't access shared memory area. SHMConfig disabled?
