Thanks all, I found ksynaptics-0.2.4-13 on the opensuse website took the binary, let rpm install it, and it put an entry in my menu. Ran that, turned off all the tapping and scrolling (had the creeping pointer problem for a moment until I noticed I hadn't turned of _all_ the scrolling) and now my touchpad is tamed :) Thanks all for all the help, Cheers, Simon "You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers.

Ksynaptics is offered in the normal Suse installation. Just open Yast2/Software/Software Management and search for it. The fact that this is a KDE app shouldn't matter. At least in KDE, which I use, I can install any Gnome app from the DVD and they run in KDE just fine. I assume/hope Ksynaptics will create an entry in the Gnome menu for you to use. Carlos FL Hmm, strangely, this doesn't happen for me. I searched for synaptics, and found the X11-input-synaptics package, but nothing else. Hmm, I guess maybe that just means I didn't install it? I thought that Yast's software management knew about the stuff that was still on the install disks though. Perhaps not, I'll see if I can kick it a little harder that way.
