Re: Synaptics touchpad two-finger scrolling

Hi list,

I had two-finger scrolling working with explicit lines in the xorg.conf.
Yet, trying to keep up and using hal instead I edited
/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?

Does anybody know what's going on?
Nobody? Should I file a bug for the driver?
