Comment 7 for bug 404709

I could solve the problem by take some changes of the "/etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-x11-synaptics.fdi" from the "/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/11-x11-synaptics.fdi"

The one in /etc/... now looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
 <device>
   <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.touchpad">
 <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">synaptics</merge>
 <merge key="input.x11_options.SHMConfig" type="string">On</merge>

 ... some parameters to configure Touchpad behavior ...

   </match>
 </device>
</deviceinfo>

Yesterday I still had "UTF-8" as encoding and "true" instead of "On" in the SHMConfig-line.

But I wonder if these things were really the cause of the problem.
