Title:
  No GUI touchpad preferences in Ubuntu 10.04 on Asus Eee PC 1015P

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: light-themes

  I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook Remix on Asus Eee PC 1015P.
  The problem is that there is no way of configuring my touchpad under GUI.
  First, there is no "Touchpad" tab in System -> Preferences -> Mouse.
  I installed GSynaptics, but every time I try to run it, it gives the "You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf". The point is that there is no default xorg.conf file in 10.04. I tried to make one with Xorg -configure; it had no 'Synaptics Touchpad' entry; I created one, and I did set the 'SHMConfig' option to 'true', but it didn't do anything. Obviously, Xorg simply pays no attention to xorg.conf file any longer. Then, I tried to use the new way of configuring Xorg with HAL .fdi files. I created an /etc/hal/fdi/policy11-X11-synaptics.fdi file and wrote 
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
  <deviceinfo version="0.2">
   <device>
     <match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.touchpad">
         <merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">synaptics</merge>
         <merge key="input.x11_options.SHMConfig" type="string">On</merge>
     </match>
   </device>
  </deviceinfo>
  in it. This did nothing, GSynaptics still gives the error.
  The touchpad itself works fine, two-finger scrolling and three-finger right-click work, too. It is likely that Synaptics and Xorg recognize my touchpad and manage it, but there are no graphical preferences.
  To summarize, there are two main bug issues:
  1. No 'Touchpad' tab in System -> Preferences -> Mouse.
  2. No way to enable SHMConfig to get other GUI touchpad preferences apps running.

  Thank you for your attention.
