Yes, I could, but it will take a while, since I don't have the
possibility of downloading and burning a disc with the latest Ubuntu -
I'm currently on a business trip. I can already tell you that I had a
similar problem when I used 7.10 and compiled my own custom kernel
based on the old configuration, see e.g.

not-detected-688892/


http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1008358


I don't know whether the problems are related but in both cases my
mouse refused to work. In 7.10 with the different non-Ubuntu kernel I
did not get the error message that concerned SHMConfig, which I am
getting now.

Thank you astrotrain, could be possible that you try to reproduce this
problem in latest ubuntu version (at least in a live cd
 session) like
Jaunty or Karmic?

Status in “xserver-xorg-input-synaptics” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete

Bug description:
After the upgrade from 7.10, where my synaptics touchpad was automatically recognized, to 8.04 (online) my touchpad stopped working. When clicking on GSynaptics I get that I should set "SHMConfig" to "true" in xorg.conf, which I have done, but that does not help. "synclient -l" gives the the answer that I don't have access to shared memory and asks whether SHMConfig is disabled. I have added the *.fdi file according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad#shmconfig, but nothing seems to help.
