Hey, when I first installed this system, I was annoyed because me touchpad was acting funky. So I disabled touchpad scrolling and it all went away.
Well, now I’d like to know what makes the touchpad scroll instead of move. I want to reenable it if it might be useful.
So does anybody know what makes the touchpad tick?
Thanks,
Jordy
AFAIK touchpad scrolling is feature of the right hand side of a Synaptics touchpad - it certainly is with mine. So you can avoid scrolling by using the left hand side only.
Your touchpad should be shown within YaST, or the control center of Gnome, depending…
I believe that it’s behavior can be changed by installing Ksynaptics (if using the KDE dekstop) of Gsynaptics (Gnome desktop).
A search of the software repo’s shows this:
Software.openSUSE.org
