Tom, This is 4.4.5. Until I emerged the synaptiks program that Doug suggested I didn't see any indications that KDE knew about the touchpad. Computer->SystemSettings->Keyboard&Mouse All I Saw was Keyboard Mouse Joystick Standard Keyboard Shortcuts Global Keyboard Shortcuts After emerging Synaptiks I now see Touchpad but it doesn't work complaining about the driver.
