Sheesh ! SHMConfig is a setting in the xorg.conf file. Edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and make the synaptics parts of it look like this: <snip> Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Default Layout" Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0 InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "Synaptics Touchpad" "CorePointer" EndSection <snip> Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad" Driver "synaptics" Option "SendCoreEvents" "true" Option "Device" "/dev/psaux" Option "Protocol" "auto-dev" Option "HorizScrollDelta" "0" Option "SHMConfig" "on" EndSection You'll need to restart X (reboot ?) for these changes to take place. You might want to back up your present xorg.conf before making these changes.
