The synaptics.fdi is a hack I found on the web. Reviewing `man 4 synaptics` now, I see some of the datatypes specified in the .fdi are wrong for the named fields.
When I correct the types, the X screen comes live. So maybe some part of the X stack has become less tolerant of bad .fdi data? -- [i965gm] black screen after xorg upgrade to 1:7.4+3ubuntu10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/492115 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
