Just for info, I've just installed 9.2 on my IBM ThinkPad T30 with no
issues whatsoever - it even installed the wireless ethernet, which I
never go working on 9.1.
The touchpad, and the trackpoint button and the external mouse all work
fine.

For whatever reason, the laptop's touchpad was not detected/installed correctly. Using the laptop has become extremely
difficult. The mouse opens *almost* every window and app that it trails
over and hardware clicking/tapping doesn't work.

From following the discussion here, it would appear that upgrading to 9.2 can be a potentially difficult task for laptop users. If anyone contacts SUSE support and gets this touchpad issue resolved I would love to hear about it. Until then, I think I'm going to stick to 9.1. I can't afford to crap out my laptop.
