I have a lap top with an ALPS touchpad/glidepad or whatever the right term is
and would like to configure the sensitivity of it, would
ksynaptics (I use KDE) or gsynaptics be the customary tools for this?
My guess is that kernel device detection may have mislabeled it.

I'm running the most recent patches for OpenSuse 10.3 on an Acer 5720-4171,
with Vista!/Opensuse Dual boot:

The only laptop modification was to replace a (currently) unsupported Atheros
5007EG based WIFI minipci-express card, I now use an Intel 3945 (drivers work
flawlessly, but the hardware seems a bit wimpy on send/receive signal
strength).
All hardware except the crystal eye camera function currently in OpenSuse,
but the touch pad is sensitive (the cursor "teleports" during typing,
even if I don't contact the pad sometimes), and sporadically has
strange behavior near its center.

The Vista side doesn't seem to give me full information and dmesg also is
wanting. From Vista! I get:Device Description - Alps Pointing-device

The device sensitivity is also poorly configured in Vista, but I haven't found
any tool that lets me configure the device in either Vista or OpenSuse 10.3.

I've tried SaX2 -r and it gives the same results. In SaX2, under mouse types
I've tried the PS/2 Mouse Glidepoint-PS/2
but it seems to be some kind of generic device, my xorg.conf reads afterwards:
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "mouse"
Identifier "Mouse[1]"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Name" "GlidePointPS/2"
Option "Protocol" "GlidePointPS/2"
Option "Vendor" "PS/2-Mouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

And I have also tried the Sax2 ALPS Touchpad mouse setup but that
gives me a failure message saying that I should look at /var/log/Xorg.99.log
(it is long, so I'll only post a snippet)
On the surface it appears to try to use the Synaptics Driver, the tail end of
the log reads:

Synaptics touchpad also failed as an option. Neither Ksynaptics nor gsynaptics
will start up.

Thanks for all your help, sorry to be so long winded.
