Description Greg Turner 2009-07-26 07:22:12 UTC
This ebuild builds the kernel module and provides an init script to automagically switch the thing on.  It also prints out some unnecessarily witty warnings about how to make it all work.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. try to use your synaptics touchpad
2. it doesnt work
3. scratch head and curse for weeks, pointlessly manipulating .fdi policy file
4. discover that you need kernel driver
5. discover that no ebuild exists for kernel driver
Actual Results:  
Much time is wasted

Expected Results:  
Time is saved by useful ebuild.

synaptics-usb-1.5_rc8-r1.ebuild

Trivial update; basically just adds linux-info to ebuild inherit clause
Comment 10 Greg Turner 2012-08-05 07:53:53 UTC
This is in the kernel now.  I don't plan on maintaining it further and I never saw any sign that anybody but me was using it anyhow :)

So marking as resolved.
