It looks like I happened to find a workaround of the issue.
[Control Centre] > [System] > [Sessions] > [Startup programs] Edit [Touchpad]. Replace: gsynaptics-init --sm-disable with: gsynaptics-init on
I hope it works for you guys as well.
A similar workaround suggested in the forum (http://forums.opensuse.org/hardware/laptop/397482-touch-pad-problems.html#po...) by modulep worked so far for me that I could use my touch pad again after going to control panel>sessions, unchecking 'touchpad' and rebooting. But I was still being unable to change the configuration of my synaptics touch pad by gsynaptics - gsynaptics did not start and opensuse 11.0 was saying: "GSynaptics couldn't initialize. You have to set 'SHMConfig' 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use GSynaptics " But neither that suggested change in XF86Config did bring Gsynaptics to work nor did 'SHMConfig'='on'. Instead after trying to change something (reconfigure in SaX2, uninstalling and reinstalling gsynaptics, ect.) the touch pad worked generally but it's virtual mouse wheel did not. So I reconfigured my touch pad manually and changed boot options permanently like described in http://de.opensuse.org/SDB:Konfiguration_des_Synaptics-Touchpad_unter_SUSE_L... . Now my touch pad works with the virtual (vertical) mouse wheel. P.S.: I would find this keywords useful but could not ad them (they seem to be not "legal" - maybe "illegally"???): mousepad, mouse, laptop, notebook, touchpad, touch pad, gsynaptics -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
