For the most part, I have stopped answering your posts because you don't seem to understand what I say, and you ramble without making your thoughts clear. I will, however, tell you how to disable tapping and make your touchpad more easily usable. You need to apply this patch: Index: /etc/X11/xorg.conf =================================================================== --- .orig/etc/X11/xorg.conf +++ /etc/X11/xorg.conf @@ -79,6 +79,8 @@ Section "InputDevice" Option "SHMConfig" "on" Option "Vendor" "Sysp" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" + Option "HorizScrollDelta" "0" + Option "MaxTapTime" "0" EndSection Section "InputDevice" @@ -141,6 +143,7 @@ Section "Device" Driver "nv" Identifier "Device[0]" VendorName "NVidia" + Option "HWCursor" "off" EndSection As you can see, this patch is a change in X11, not the openSUSE stuff directly. FWI, I only use the frame buffer. I cannot be bothered with having to rebuild the binary module for the closed-source driver. In addition, the tainted kernel would be the kiss of death for me. I always disable tapping on every laptop I use. Perhaps it is my internal capacitance or some other characteristic of mine, but I always get extraneous mouse events when tapping is enabled.
