Bug Description

Binary package hint: xorg

Noticed these errors in my .xsession-errors

Internal error: Could not resolve keysym XF86TouchpadOn
Internal error: Could not resolve keysym XF86TouchpadOff
Unable to find a synaptics device.

Wondering if this is the gestures stuff?

This is a desktop system without any touchpad device at all, so the errors are completely spurrious and it's probably not relevant to print them out.

Need to identify what client produces these error messages and make it suppress the prints.

This bug was fixed in the package xserver-xorg-input-synaptics - 1.3.99+git20110116.0e27ce3a-0ubuntu5

---------------
xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (1.3.99+git20110116.0e27ce3a-0ubuntu5) natty; urgency=low

  * Add 118_quell_error_msg.patch: Don't print error "Unable to find a
    synaptics device" when used on system that doesn't have a touchpad anyway.
    (LP: #716712)
  * Renumber patches 200 and 201 to 116 and 117 so are consistent with the
    other ubuntu patches.

"Unable to find a synaptics device." is just a warning message in -synaptics, easily quelled.

The other error messages I still haven't tracked down.

Okie dokie, tracked it down to libxkbcommon (didn't realize that'd load up on its own), which is not installed by default and still early enough on in development that this error message is not worth silencing.
