Hi,

I recently upgraded my SuSE 9.0 into 9.2 and I can't get rid of several irksome problems. First of all, the touchpad in my Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo L behaves strangely - the cursor moves in a wild unreliable manner, clicking on the pad seems also rather haphazard. Tweaking with the configurable mouse options is of little help - it seems to improve the behaviour a bit, but still it is far from how it worked before the upgrade.

But even worse is the fact that when I now reboot from linux to windows xp, the clicking on touchpad is disabled - how can the system know that??? Isn't the device fully reset when rebooting? If I poweroff, then the touchpad works fine in windows. This didn't happen with my previous SuSE 9.0, so what is wrong here?

All help appreciated,

Adam

There is "ksynaptics - A KDE configuration module for the synaptics touchpad" available in SUSE 9.2. It is available within Control Center under Peripherals as Touch Pad.

Any idea where ksynaptics might be on the install disks? A search for ksynaptics or touchpad turns up nothing in Yast. And I don't have a touch pad selection in control center. Thanks, Steve

Hope your laptop has the Synaptics Touchpad. Also works with some ALPS Touchpads too.
