Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xfree86-driver-synaptics
I have been digging into this for a while now, and I'm pretty certain it
has not been mentioned anywhere.
The situation:
Ubuntu 8.10, 2.6.27-9-generic, dell inspiron 6000, xserver-xorg-input-
synaptics 0.15.2-0ubuntu7
# cat /etc/hal/fdi/policy/shmconfig.fdi
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="input.x11_driver" string="synaptics">
<merge key="input.x11_options.SHMConfig" type="string">True</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
No active SHM in xorg.conf
syndaemon starts nicely by hand, and from system->prefs->session
# ps aux | grep sy[n]
root 19030 0.4 0.0 2988 508 ? Ss 09:42 0:09 syndaemon -d -t
However, after a resume it is just gone.
With the -S option as mentioned in bug 295236
it survives, but stops working after resume.
I have tried a workaround by way of a small script:
/usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/55syndaemon-resume
my log-lines verifies that it does get called, and the right function executed,
but apparently it fires too early in the resume sequence since I am then
greeted with an error on the root terminal.
Almost identical to bug 295236.
# X Error of failed request: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device
Major opcode of failed request: 146 (XInputExtension)
Minor opcode of failed request: 4 (X_CloseDevice)
Serial number of failed request: 22691
Current serial number in output stream: 22692
I tried "99Zsyndaemon-resume" as well, and with a "sleep 10" just to be
sure, so perhaps the sequence is not the problem after all..
I tried the scripts in
Bug:253079 "should include script for launching syndaemon"
but unless I'm mistaken, /etc/X11/Xsession.d/ does not get sourced on resume?
What now? I'm out of ideas..
