Here's the touchpad section of my xorg.conf: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Synaptics" Driver "synaptics" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "auto-dev" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes" Option "SHMConfig" "on" EndSection The SHMConfig option needs to be set to use the GUI configurators. From the command line, you can also use synclient. See the man page.I just reset the machine to test the wifi, and looking in xorg.conf: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Synaptics" Driver "synaptics" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "Protocol" "auto-dev" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes" EndSection Also, a tray icon with the synaptics options appeared. So it's working. However, it's all greyed out (I cannot change any options), and it complains that it cannot access shared memory.
That's what SHMConfig does is allow shared memory access for configuration. After updating xorg.conf, you need to restart X.
