[Bug 633125] Re: syndaemon polls 5 times a second

 

Fixed in Debian, released in Natty

** Changed in: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Fix Released

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
  
  The "Disable touchpad while typing" option in System->Preferences->Mouse
  launches syndaemon -i 0.5 -k.  Unfortunately syndaemon seems to poll
  every 200ms even when the system is otherwise idle, waking up the CPU
  and presumably wasting power.
  
  syndaemon has code to use XRecord to avoid polling, but it appears to be
  compiled without HAVE_XRECORD, even though Xorg appears to provide that
  extension (judging from xdpyinfo output).  It also requires -R to be
  passed on the command line, although perhaps it would be a reasonable
  default?
