That this > general trend is what gets me worried. You happen to pick on one of the worst drivers out there, synaptics. These wouldn't work for configuration without fiddling with a config file in the first place, because of it's crappy ass configuration system relying on insecure methods. In the future, where the norm is no X config, crap like this wouldn't be accepted and wouldn't be here to deal with. So yeah, we've got few wrinkles to work out, and some cruft leftover from the past to clean up, but that's not bad. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature! identi.ca: http://identi.ca/jkeating
