It works fine here on openSUSE 12.3 on a computer with a synaptics touchpad. Well, 12.3 is not really the scope of this list :-)
Well, the only machine here with a touchpad has 12.3 installed.
Also, it displays the message "Using synclient" when it starts. Isn't parsing synclient's output a way to guarantee compatibility for the future, provided that the driver preserves the meaning of the parameters, of course? I have no idea. I was not getting the "using synclient" message but something about not having SHMConfig configured (and that's a configuration the driver does not know anymore AFAICT).
Yes, you're right. I had set this option in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-local.conf and forgot about it.
If it works, fine. Then if people want to keep it, we just need to find someone who maintains ist.
Just to make things clear, I have no use for it, because I call synclient directly when synaptiks misbehaves. I was just wondering whether it would be wise to keep it for inexperienced users because of bugs in synaptiks and because touchpad configuration is critical when using a laptop. Of course, if nobody else finds synaptiks buggy, there's no reason to keep gsynaptics.
