Feedback on Synaptics with ClickPad

Hi Peter,

Thanks for this wonderful help.

Quick reply (I am not yet done, but I advanced and so I report the 
blocking configuration item).

In the InputDevice section (in /etc/xorg.conf) for the ClickPad device, 
the line
	Option	"protocol"	"psm"
prevented the section to apply. It failed on
"Synaptics driver unable to detect protocol" which I ignored (... little 
or no excuse ...).

Maybe it has something to do with the different protocol with the Lenovo 
Edge series (I don't know), but the now-seemingly-effective InputDevice 
section has no "protocol" option at all.

For the record, I came to this troubleshooting interim conclusion by 
comparing X log files with and without AutoAddDevices .

More extensive reply to follow.
