hal-set-property isn't very useful here, but xinput can be used to change things without SHMConfig. While travelling this morning I added input device property support to syndaemon -- it turned out to be a rather larger job than I expected, but AFAICS it is fine. Install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics from my PPA (https://launchpad.net/~wgrant/+archive) to get this version. With it installed, syndaemon should be usable without manual device configuration. Please complain about anything that's broken with it. -- William Grant -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
