Package: xfree86-driver-synaptics
Version: 0.13.5-1
Severity: normal

Hello,

My synaptics pointer works since I can use the extra 4-direction key and perform a middle click with two fingers. Thanks for the Debian package,
my life will be easier :-)

But I can't use synclient or syndaemon:
$ synclient -h
Can't access shared memory area. SHMConfig disabled?

extract from /var/log/XFree86.0.log:
[...]

etc.


The first time I login after gdm starts I have a different error message:
Incorrect size of shared memory area. Incompatible driver version?
The second time I login I have:
Can't access shared memory area. SHMConfig disabled?

So the shared memory segment is created but something is wrong
somewhere.

I am using Debian sid.

Thanks,
