fix nosymbol problem
add latching setup... which shouldn't be necessary

I've been battling with latch to lock for hours, and finally made this
workaround, but it turns out that it's a bug that's been around since
2012 and was just fixed in the latest xorg release... that I'm not using
on my desktop because I'm using the proprietary driver for my amd
graphics card, which doesn't support the latest xorg release...

I should go all free software... but drivers... I want hardware that
works... but I also want software that gives me freedom!!!!

ARG!
