Sorry, I'm late to this thread. If the question is how to let
ksynaptics/gsynaptics control touchpad features in F10, the answer is to
create /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-synaptics.fdi containing:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.touchpad">
<match key="info.product" contains="Synaptics TouchPad">
<merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">synaptics</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.SHMConfig" type="string">On</merge>
</match>
<match key="info.product" contains="AlpsPS/2 ALPS">
<merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">synaptics</merge>
</match>
<match key="info.product" contains="appletouch">
<merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">synaptics</merge>
</match>
<match key="info.product" contains="bcm5974">
<merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">synaptics</merge>
</match>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
For where this comes from,
see /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/10-synaptics.fdi. Note the
line above containing "SHMConfig"
