touchpad synclient error?
This is what I get when I try to use the synclient program:
Can't access shared memory area. SHMConfig disabled?
I desperately want to disable features on my touchpad. Anyone have experience with this? PLEASE help!

insert SHMConfig yes in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
You need to add an options line in xorg.conf and then you can use the synclient application to change features from the command line.
In my xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Synaptics"
Driver "synaptics"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
Option "SHMConfig" "yes"
EndSection
Then synclient should work.

Ahhhh... Thank you. I didn't make that connection. It all makes sense to me now.  |

small change to xorg.conf
You might need to put:
Option "SHMConfig" "on"
instead of
Option "SHMConfig" "yes"
in xorg.conf.
