fedora

Fedora is a GNU/Linux based operating system that provides users with access to the latest free and open source software, in a stable, secure and easy to manage form. Fedora people strongly believe in the bedrock principles that created all the components of the operating system, and because of this they guarantee that Fedora will always be free for anybody, anywhere, to use, modify and distribute.

Fedora is a center for innovation in free and open source software, and creates a community where developers and open source enthusiasts come together to advance free and open source software.

The Fedora community contributes everything it builds back to the free and open source world and continues to make advances of significance to the broader community, as evidenced by the regular and rapid incorporation of its features into other Linux distributions. Regardless of which Linux distribution you use, you are relying on code developed within the Fedora Project.

This tells the Synaptics touchpad driver to export its configuration data to a shared memory region which is accessible to any user on the system. The reason for this is that in the past, there ...
