LinuxQuestions.org - [SOLVED] Update niggles with keyboard & Synaptics driver

I've gone from 13.1 to 13.37, and hit this problem. The Irish (~=gb) is gone to US, and the bar along the side of the touchpad no longer works.

So I went to the Backup (Yes, stop laughing, I had a backup) and copied in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/* which had the files for sorting slackware-13.1, but _they_ did nothing after a reboot. I have

Code:

bash-4.1$ cat 10-keymap.fdi

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- -->

<deviceinfo version="0.2">

  <device>

    <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.keys">

      <merge key="input.x11_options.XkbLayout" type="string">gb</merge>

      <merge key="input.xkb.variant" type="string" />

    </match>

  </device>

</deviceinfo>

bash-4.1$ cat 11-x11-synaptics.fdi

<?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>

        <!-- Enable tap click by default: -->

        <merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton1" type="string">1</merge>

        <!-- Arbitrary options can be passed to the driver using

            the input.x11_options property since xorg-server-1.5. -->

        <!-- EXAMPLES:

        Switch on shared memory, enables the driver to be configured at runtime

        <merge key="input.x11_options.SHMConfig" type="string">true</merge>



        Maximum movement of the finger for detecting a tap

        <merge key="input.x11_options.MaxTapMove" type="string">2000</merge>



        Enable vertical scrolling when dragging along the right edge -->

        <merge key="input.x11_options.VertEdgeScroll" type="string">true</merge>



        <!--Enable vertical scrolling when dragging with two fingers anywhere on the touchpad

        <merge key="input.x11_options.VertTwoFingerScroll" type="string">true</merge>



        Enable horizontal scrolling when dragging with two fingers anywhere on the touchpad

        <merge key="input.x11_options.HorizTwoFingerScroll" type="string">true</merge>



        If on, circular scrolling is used

        <merge key="input.x11_options.CircularScrolling" type="string">true</merge>



        For other possible options, check CONFIGURATION DETAILS in synaptics man page -->

What did I do wrong?
