[opensuse] Disable horizontal scroll on touchpad
Hi guys, I really love the feature that opensuse added to my touchpad, the vertical scrolling. However, when I installed opensuse 10.3, all of a sudden, when I moved my finger on the bottom part of the touchpad, Firefox detected it as horizontal scrolling, and went a page back in history. That is really annoying, my touchpad doesn't have a horizontal scrollbar, and I don't want Linux to act like I have. I tried disabling it with KSynaptics, but that works only temporarily. After a reboot, it happens again. YaST lists 3 mouses for me, a Synaptics Touchpad, an IBM TPPS/2 TrackPoint and a PS/2 Generic Mouse. Disabling one of these doesn't help, after disabling it and returning to the Mouse Model configuration page, they are all enabled again. But I am quite sure it's possible to disable it, opensuse 10.2 didn't act like this. Do you guys know a solution to disable this annoying feature?

That's not horizontal scroll. That's "mouse gestures" in Firefox, and it works on ANY part of the touchpad

Yes, it's VERY annoying. It happens to me, too, when using Seamonkey.

See if there's an option in Firefox to turn off mouse gestures.
Thanks in advance,

Have you checked "Personal Settings / Peripherals / Touchpad"? I don't have Synaptics installed in this machine, but there may be a setting there that helps you. -- Carlos FL Who is General Failure, and why is he reading my disk? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
