Short version is, touchpad tap was disabled in X to make it consistant
with Gnome defaults. KDE does not enable/disable by default instead
picking up on whatever X is configured to do. So since touchpad tap
is now disabled, KDE picks up on that "new" setting and no more
touchpad tap.

You have to install Synaptiks or kcm_touchpad to be able to enable
touchpad tap and other touchpad behaviors you're used to with KDE4 in
11.2.


By the way, don't install both when you're testing 11.3. I've found
that they fight a bit with each other - odd error messages etc. It
works fine if you install kcm_touchpad, and you've got loads of
options (eg turning touchpad off when you're typing which is almost a
must for most people). I dont' see much difference between Synaptiks
and kcm_touchpad.. minor stuff.. but nothing that stands out to make
one more desirable over the other.

Well, this morning i found myself time to test some 11.3 on eee-pc
again, try to solve issues like: OSD on blue-tooth/on/off > Wifi/on/off,
both on/off, the wifi issue about configuering and connecting, and
ofcourse: the touchpad..... pffff.

searching for kcm_touchpad in the automatic added repo's showed: zilch!
(n-r)
Trying synaptiks, showed it was already installed..
Ok, but now how to find it to configure?
Terminal? no! Yast hardware? No!, Mouse? No!, Systemsettings? No!

I would like essential settings config found more easily......

Does anyone know how to 'open/invoke' synaptiks to get this touchpad going?



i found my final solution editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-synaptics.conf
