Shared Memory is not accessible.

Please add the option 'SHMConfig "on"' into the touchpad section
of /etc/X11/xorg.conf

and of course, there isn't any xorg.conf file - ignoring that, it says
'Using Driver' "none" - which of course is why my touchpad isn't
happening.

do I have to insmod/modprobe something?
