Just received my copy of SuSE 9.2 Pro and completed a clean install on my Toshiba Satellite 2435 laptop. 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. I don't recall what driver I've used in the past with SuSE and this laptop--truth is, I never looked. Currently I'm using the generic PS/2 Mouse (Aux-Port) driver as indicated in the Hardware section of YaST's Control Center and the touchpad is somewhat functional, albeit with irritating side effects. With previous versions of SuSE the touchpad was detected/configured correctly and without my intervention. Anyone using SuSE 9.2 with a similar machine?
Well I have a similar problem with my laptop, an old Clevo model. The touchpad works fine but an external PS/2 mouse does not work. I can move the mouse pointer with the external mouse but none of the buttons work. I have tried a number of different mouse and driver settings to no avail. I dislike using the touchpad and prefer to use an external mouse.
Again all previous versions of SuSE have worked without a problem with this laptop. I suspect there is something amiss with the alps driver.

I've tried several different mouse types offered in YaST's Control Center, however, none work as well as I'd like. Nothing that I've tried so far works as well as previous installations (e.g. SuSE 9.1, 8.2, etc.) have worked. I submitted a request to SuSE installation support. I'll pass their recommendations on when I hear from them. Thanks to all. Chris Shanahan
