[opensuse] Control the mouse pointer with the keyboard
Is there a way to control the mouse pointer with the keyboard (arrow keys) ? I have an Acer Aspire One mini laptop and for some reason the touch pad does not work (I have a dualboot system, Windows and openSUSE). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

As you don't mention what DE you use I just tell you how you would do it in GNOME: Control Center / Keyboard and then the tab 'Mouse Keys' Enable it and you're all set. Dominique -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I use KDE 4.2 and there is a similar option there too, but for some reason it does not seem to work. It could be a possible bug, perhaps someone else could confirm this. Anyway, I have been able to enable the touch pad using the function keys. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Check on the keyboard - there is a Fn key combination to turn on (and off) the touchpad. You can also install gSynaptic (I think that is what it is called) and enable the touchpad there.

Thanks, as it's usually said: you saved my life :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
