liveinit: deprecate "nga" boot parameter and add "tweaks" parameter instead.
The functionality of the old "nga" parameter is now implemented as a "tweak". Tweaks are customizations that cater to specific hardware needs. Syntax: tweaks=tweak1[,tweak2,[,...]] Example: tweaks=nga,tpb Currently implemented tweaks: - nga => no glamor acceleration (X.Org tweak). - tpb => enable TrackPoint scrolling while holding down middle mouse button. - syn => start the syndaemon for better support of Synaptics touchpads.
