Matthew hacked this up to work with DEVICE_RESOLUTION, so SHMConfig
isn't needed. Only three settings work, though (tap to click, horizontal
scrolling, vertical scrolling).

I don't know where to find a patch (the source package doesn't have any
patch), but I believe it's only a minor change. But it's only a short
term hack, I guess :-)

(I looked at all this to see how easy it'd be to add support for my
"disable touchpad" key)
