[jaunty] syndaemon doesn't work

[Siegfried Gevatter]

Binary package hint: xfree86-driver-synaptics

syndaemon doesn't work anymore since I've upgraded to Jaunty.

[rainct, ~]$ syndaemon

Hi rainct,

Please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn`, and attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log (and maybe Xorg.0.log.old) file from after reproducing this issue. If you've made any customizations to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please attach that as well.

Running "/usr/bin/syndaemon -S -i 3 -d -t" instead of just "syndaemon" it works. Forgot to close this bug.

There's a script trying to do this in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/99syndaemon-launch.

In mine, I changed the line:
 $SYNDAEMON -i $SYN_IDLE -d
to:
 $SYNDAEMON -S -i $SYN_IDLE -d -t

I see that the data requested was not provided, so here's mine- lspci first.

[FokkerCharlie (charlie-andrews)]

And here's xorg,0.log.

I can run "/usr/bin/syndaemon -S -i 3 -d -t", generating no errors, but also to no good effect!

If there's any other info required, please let me know.

Cheers
Charlie
