Quick update on the clickpad situation. I have finally found that
booting with psmouse.proto=exps give me a workable clickpad. This has
to count as a work-around, since I lose the ability to configure the
clickpad through the KDE systemsettings panel, but it does result in a
functional trackpad.
Best,
Ista

Sorry to bother the list with this again. I've filled a bug report (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=698412) but there has been no movement. I believe this is a simple issue of a patch not being applied to the Tumbleweed kernel updates.
I know of no patch that somehow got dropped, it's probably due to some other change in the input layer in this area.
It will be handled soon, sorry for the delay, lots of people are traveling at the moment.
Googleing for "linux kernel synaptics clickpad" will bring up a list of patches and bug reports. I'd really like to get these patches applied back to the Tumbleweed kernel, because the updated video driver works much better. Right now I have to choose whether I want my video to run smoothly or if I want to be able to right-click.
Do you have a pointer to a specific patch that you feel should be applied? If so, please add it to the bug and we will be glad to look at it.
OK, I've added links on the bug report to patches that might address this problem.
Thanks!
