2. The touch pad is too sensitive for tapping. The latest tpconfig reports that the touchpad is not Synaptics or ALPS even though it is a Synaptics. Jerry, my Dell 1150 had a similar problem which I mostly cured by going into the Control Center , Peripherals>Mouse and fiddling with

My current settings are: Acceleration 1.3x Threshold 5 pixels Drag start time 195msec The only one of those I had not changed was "Drag start time". They do seem to have an affect. There is a documented environment variable, MaxTapTime that you can use to adjust the sensitivity, but that does not work under the 2.6 kernel yet. http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340/touchpad/

I recently installed SuSE 9.1 professional on my laptop, Compaq Presario XL1800, Pentium III. Just about everything worked out of the box, wired networking, wireless networking, dialup using the ltmodem driver.

The only 2 things that I have not been able to get working under 9.1 as of yet: 1. Power Save. Neither Suspend nor Standby work. he notebook is APM and not ACPI.

This is disabled by default. See /etc/powersave.conf, at the end of the file.

Better read the docs too. :) /usr/share/docs/packages/powersave

E.g. you can read there that it still is beta software.

I have suspend working (ordinary PC, no laptop), but standby does not work for me.

Suspend and standby work on my IBM Thinkpad T41. Suspend did not work in the beta. Did not try standby. Standby uses 14% of 6 cell battery in the first hour. Jeffrey

Actually, it went into standby on a battery critical yesterday, but I still am having difficulty with the powered on configuration.
