Bug Description

In displayconfig-gtk, there is no option to enable touchpad, or add :

Option "SHMConfigch" "true"

on xorg.conf

Touchpad is present in all notebook, but I can NOT enable it by "Restricted Drivers Manager" or use "diskplayconfig-gtk".

On laptops installation is mandatory use of gsynaptics package. If dont, touchpad cannot be turn off when use mouse. Please put "gsynaptics" and "SHMConfigch" "true" on xorg.conf when detect laptop installation. Maybe add option on gsynaptics front-end to enable to add :

Option "SHMConfigch" "true"

on xorg.conf

I am not familiar with gsynaptics, but this should perhaps be handled by the postinst of gsynaptics itself.
