Requiring X server access, in particular access to the X input properties, 
is quite normal, kcm_touchpad also requires this, and I really see no reason 
why this wouldn't be required. The root access is more of a problem: If 
there are no X input properties for those settings, the driver ought to be 
fixed to add those! Once we have X input properties for all the required 
settings, support for the Sentelic driver should probably be added to 
kcm_touchpad.
