Although the changelog entry implies that =x11-drivers/xf86-input-synaptics-0.15.2-r1 should install the upstream fdi file, it actually does not on my system. The file is present when I unpack the package using `ebuild`, but it is not merged.

Thank you for your bug report, I have fallen back to using the old way of installing the FDI file (but from the upstream source tarball now). +*xf86-input-synaptics-0.15.2-r2 (16 Sep 2008) + + 16 Sep 2008; <chainsaw@gentoo.org> -files/11-x11-synaptics.fdi, + -xf86-input-synaptics-0.15.2-r1.ebuild, + +xf86-input-synaptics-0.15.2-r2.ebuild: + Apparently using autotools correctly is hard. Reinstate the previous + install hack as regenerating the configure script would take longer than + the compile itself. Closes bug #237620 by Alexey Charkov + <alchark@gmail.com>.
