The special touchpad functions like scrolling are not available.

Can you try openSUSE 11.4? It sounds like work is going on upstream and it is unlikely we can easily backport those improvements to older versions of openSUSE.

Hi, Actually ever since the kernel version 2.6.37 the touch pad is working fine. Sorry that I forgot to update the bug here with the information.

I re-tested this issue on opensuse 11.4 with the standard kernel (kernel-desktop) release 2.6.37.1, Release 1.2.2 , Build Date: Wed Feb 23 05:02:23 2011 and Dell Latitude E6510. Same result as reported in my earlier comment. The touchpad is not detected as a separate device. I am not a kernel person , but I see activity for this issue on https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14660 Shouldn't that be integrated into opensuse? I think this is pretty urgent for fixing in the 11.4 release, it is pretty hard to write on the laptop if the touchpad is not configurable and shows accidential activity ;-( -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I installed it on my Dell E6510 and the touchpad is only detected as a mouse. The main irritation being that when I am typing if I bump the touchpad my cursor moves and I am suddenly typing somewhere else.
