Dell Latitude D531 touchpad not working

So it sounds like you need to run the command: “xinput enable 14” on each startup. Do you run this as root or a normal user? For root, you can look at my article on getting the after.local bash script working in openSUSE 12.3 where this command could then be placed.

systemd and using the after.local script in openSUSE 12.1 - Blogs - openSUSE Forums

Else, if a normal user, one could write a bash script using my New Script File bash script which places it in $HOME/bin. The script is here:

N.S.F. - New Script File, Bash Script File Header Creator - Version 2.6 - Blogs - openSUSE Forums

Then you go to Menu / Configure Desktop / System Administration / Startup and Shutdown / Autostart (on Left) / Add Script (On Right) / browse to your bash script with this one command and select OK I think and it will run on each startup. While there, I normally suggest you also select Session Management (On Left) / under On Login select the bullet for “Start with an Empty Session”. If you don’t select this, some stuff can be there more than once though a one shot script should not have that effect.

Thank You,
