I'm running SuSE 9.2 Professional on my Compaq Presario laptop (kernel 2.6.8-24). My touchpad is a synaptics touchpad.

Sax2 misdetected my mouse, and after making changes to my xorg.conf file, I am getting extra touchpad functionality out of my touchpad, and my external USB mouse works great too.

The only problem is that my touchpad is a problem when I'm typing. I googled around, and I found that syndaemon can do that.

I found out that both synclient or syndaemon are not installed. I couldn't find an rpm for these apps, so I downloaded the source for the driver (version 0.14) and ran make on the source.

After compilation, both synclient and syndaemon return the following error:
Incorrect size of shared memory area. Incompatible driver version?

Here's part of my xorg.conf file:
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "synaptics"
Identifier "Mouse[1]"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Name" "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
#Option "Protocol" "PS/2"
Option "Protocol" "auto-dev"
Option "SHMConfig" "on"

Option "FingerHigh" "30"
Option "MinSpeed" "0.01"

What do I do now?
