Created attachment 128768 [details, diff]
Fix compile and install issues

Although syndaemon now compiles fine, it will not work due to FreeBSD lacking SHM facilities.

Aside from that it should work fine - care to test it?

[Comment 2 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) 2009-07-26 17:52:36 UTC]

Please try with latest xf86-input-synaptics in tree. synaptics is dead code and shall be masked.
