i only have one problem.. how am i supposed to enable touchpad tapping?
As I understand it, depite that on major other OSes tapping just works. openSUSE came to the conclusion, that tapping should be off by default.
May be they want to force newbies to learn about KDE/gnome/whatever WM configuration frontends before feeling comfortable with their desktops (pardon for sarkasm).
Here a quote from a comment on another touchpad problem: <cite> https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=554884
Short version is, touchpad tap was disabled in X to make it consistant with Gnome defaults. KDE does not enable/disable by default instead picking up on whatever X is configured to do. So since touchpad tap is now disabled, KDE picks up on that "new" setting and no more touchpad tap.
You have to install Synaptiks or kcm_touchpad to be able to enable touchpad tap and other touchpad behaviors you're used to with KDE4 in 11.2. </cite>
I think this also belongs there:
By the way, don't install both when you're testing 11.3. I've found that they fight a bit with each other - odd error messages etc. It works fine if you install kcm_touchpad, and you've got loads of options (eg turning touchpad off when you're typing which is almost a must for most people). I dont' see much difference between Synaptiks and kcm_touchpad.. minor stuff.. but nothing that stands out to make one more desirable over the other.
