Installed 12.1b1 from x86_64 live cd and synaptiks was not included. Subsequent zypper dup provided synaptiks

I think coolo added it to default installs post 12.1beta No, I added it before beta and removed it again - it's too big for the live cd.

but it does not work or I don't know how to enable/configure it properly.

You have to manually start the tray icon. Additionally I had a problem where I also had to manually make it visible in tray settings - when set to "auto" it was hidden for me.

...

It doesn't work with the default/installed config either. And if I disable the touchpad when usb mouse is attached the touchpad is unusable even w/o the usb mouse attached.

bug or operator error/ignorance :^) ??

the tray icon is there, hidden, but synaptiks does nothing for me. I still have to use the buttons on the pad to select/activate....

maybe, but in addition to no scroll regions, I have no selection capability, tapping.... Before the install of synaptiks, I did have the ability to move the pointer.

Do you also have those problem if you stop using the "disable if mouse plugged" feature? ... when the machine thinks the touchpad is a ps/2 mouse that setting seems to get a little crazy. And it seems most - if not all - touchpdads are seens as ps/2 mice. I made a bugreport about tapping being disabled by default: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=722457 Tapping was disabled by default in X for a long time, iirc because it suits gnome for some strange reason. But it was "fixed" via synaptiks default settings on 11.4. But it seems that's not a viable method for 12.1. So we're in trouble. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

synaptiks basically doesn't function at all for me unless I enable the "disable" function and then the touchpad is completely unusable. It appears that the *only* function synaptiks provides for me is that "disable" function.

I have no tapping or scroll-region. The touchpad is functional as a mouse, but only as a mouse. It will move the pointer and the buttons work, but as a mouse. With/without synaptiks.

ps: this is an extra box that is *only* for testing 12.1.

tks, Synaptiks was never useful. Fortunately for me, I have tap and normal scrolling that work. Would have loved to be able to turn off tap click, or disable touchpad while typing. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
