Interesting that, unlike SuSE 9, the Synaptics touchpad on my HP notebook is inoperable. Guess that requires a new kernel config? I wonder if the tools are on the Personal Edition.
Just installed it, and so far the only thing I can complain about is the touchpad & kdegames seems to be missing. <LOL>
Not sure about kdegames, but after installing 9.1 Personal on a laptop with a synaptics touchpad, I was able to get it to work by using Sax2 (You can get to it from YaST->Hardware->Graphics Card and Monitor->Change). Select Input Devices->Mouse and then select the automatically detected mouse and choose properties. You can then select Synaptics as vendor and Touchpad as model. Click OK, and next time you log in the touchpad should work. It even picked up the four-way scroll button in the middle. No messing around with the kernel. Shame the laptop had serious issues with ACPI locking it up solid. Aspire 1355XC... :-( Hope this helps, Jason
