Description Douglas E. Warner 2007-07-27 00:23:33 UTC 
Description of problem:
ksynaptics constantly displays the error
"Shared Memory is not accessible.
Please add the option 'UseShm ''true''' into the touch pad section 
of /etc/X11/xorg.conf"

This is supposedly fixed in 0.3.3.

libsynaptics 0.14.6c is also required.

Comment 2 Orion Poplawski 2007-08-08 23:03:49 UTC 
Let me know if this fixes the problem and doesn't cause any other issues.
Comment 3 Douglas E. Warner 2007-08-13 18:35:44 UTC 
I'm still having problems using ksynaptics (or any other synaptics frontend) 
with a similar error:

"Shared Memory is not accessible.
Please add the option 'SHMConfig ''on''' into the touch pad section 
of /etc/X11/xorg.conf"

Below is my xorg.conf file snippet.

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "synaptics"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
        Option      "Protocol" "auto-dev"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
        Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"

Well, works for me.  Can you attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file?  You aren't
trying to access while the machine is in a dock are you?

I tried accessing it while it was in a dock and while undocked, actually.

Comment 7 Orion Poplawski 2007-08-15 03:55:17 UTC 
Can you attach your full xorg.conf file?  Looks like the driver really isn't
being initialized.  Be sure you have:

        InputDevice    "Mouse0" "AlwaysCore"

in your ServerLayout section as well.

On my machine the synaptics device is disabled while in a dock.

This is apparently the line I was missing in my xorg.conf file.  Everything 
seems to be working now.  Thanks for your help!
