Hi, While trying to get display to a projector to work in openSUSE 11.3 I ended up having to shutdown the laptop (improper shutdown via power button). Ever since I've lost the trackpad, i.e. mouse pointer no longer moves when using the trackpad. How do I get it working again? Help is appreciated.

For some reason the forced shutdown had an ill effect on the GNOME configuration. In gconf-editor I needed to enable the touchpad (as it was working prior to the forced shutdown this somehow got disabled). All is well again. Robert
Help is appreciated.
Thanks, Robert

Do you remember what setting it was? I'm guessing it might help me with a problem I have, I want to check if those settings are altered when suspending to ram my laptop (touchpad disappears). -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 11.2 x86_64 "Emerald" GM (Minas Tirith))
