Minor typo fix. The line:
Type gksudo /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Probably should be:
Type gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Option "SHMConfig" "true" NOT "on"

Thanx, great trick I know from long ago. But after installing feisty it doesn’t seem to work, as syndaemon can’t access shared memory regardless of SHMConfig option on. What may be the issue? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Here’s my Input device part of Xorg.conf
Section “InputDevice”
Driver “wacom”
Identifier “eraser”
Option “Device” “/dev/input/wacom”
Option “Type” “eraser”
Option “ForceDevice” “ISDV4″ # Tablet PC ONLY
Option “SHMConfig” “on”
EndSection
