	I'm using x11-drivers/synaptics on FreeBSD/i386.  I don't have
	any problem which many people said.

	I have two questions:

	a. Anyone, do you install x11-drivers/xf86-input-void?
	   I didn't install x11-drivers/xf86-input-void.

	b. If you install x11-drivers/xf86-input-void, please check
	   following setting.

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier	"dummy"
	Driver		"void"
EndSection

	I read source files of Xserver and void driver, but I didn't
	understand these relations:-(.  So I don't know that it's
	correct to fix this problem by way of b.  And, if x11-drivers/
	xf86-input-void is not installed, that's solution will be crashed.
