[opensuse] Synaptics touchpad, how to get rid of
Hi list, - I've got a laptop with SuSE10.2 and this stupid touchpad, a synaptics thing. I want to switch it off. I tried commenting it out in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but it seems to driven by somthing so low (a module somewhere) that this was not enough. - any ideas as to how to kill it? -- - Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Try ksynaptics, here's a link to it: http://repos.opensuse.org/KDE:/Backports/openSUSE_10.2/i586/ksynaptics-0.3. 1-2.1.i586.rpm It's not the latest version, but it should do the work. Saludos Azael - thank you! - I found ksynapctics version 0.31 as a part of my SuSE10.2 - installed it. - it gives me a small icon in my taskbar - alas, with everything grayed out...nothing can be done. And it gives me a warning when starting it: Shared memory is not accessible. Please add the option UseShm true into the touch pad section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf I did: Section InputDevice Driver synaptics Identifier Mouse[3] Option Buttons 7 Option Device /dev/input/mice Option Emulate3Buttons on Option HorizScrollDelta 0 Option InputFashion Mouse Option Name Synaptics;Touchpad OPtion UseShm On Option Protocol explorerps/2 Option SHMConfig on Option Vendor Sysp Option ZAxisMapping 4 5 EndSection Restarted X, no luck.
