You guys know the KDE touchpad thing (Kde 4) is bugged?.
I have a switch on my laptop that can turn the touchpad off.
I accidentally hit it.
I had it in the past (in another Linux distro) that it would claim my TP was off when it was on.
Now it won't turn on again. I can't mouse and I don't have another mouse available to plug in. The only reason I can really mail is because this is Alpine on some remote server that was alread logged on (without mouse I would be hard fetched to turn NetworkManager on).
I feel I'll have to log out so I'm rounding up my work here. Very... disrupting. VERY VERY VERY disrupting. Almost as bad as a computer crash in some way.

I had issues with my Dell laptop's touchpad when I first ran it with openSUSE and KDE. My memory is not so good, especially having just had a beer, but maybe it was this same kind of issue. Whatever, I found that in KDE's System Settings, under Startup and Shutdown > Service Manager, if I unchecked the KDE Touchpad Enabler Daemon, I no longer had the issues. You might think that unchecking that box would disable the touchpad completely. On my laptop that's not the case, it works fine, it just doesn't get buggered up any more. So maybe that'll work in your case too. gumb -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
