I find the TrackPoint, found on ThinkPads and some other computers works well.
If you're referring to the vile little post in the center of my Dell Latitude 820's keyboard at work, that's even worse than the trackpad. At least I can turn off the trackpad -- I can't find any way to defeat the post, so almost every time I type a G, H, B, or Y, my cursor disappears and reappears a couple of seconds later under the mouse pointer.
This is under XP; my employer is one of the Microsoft worshippers. Although they do allow some of us to run linux, if we are primarily unix developers for our client.

My work computer is also a Dell and I turned off the trackpad on it, because it was so irritating and I was always hitting it by accident. I have to run XP on it, as some of the applications won't run on it and one device even requires IE (yuck!!!). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
