I appreciate the links and advice and will let you know how everything works. I am a linux noob anyways (only running since last fall) and now switching distros is taking me a bit to get used to. Getting there though. Ben Yeah, I don’t know why I keep thinking I am running 10.4, its 10.3. I appreciate the links and advice and will let you know how everything works.

It calls the commands,

synclient TouchpadOff=1
synclient TouchpadOff=0

I can’t test now and my suse box is away :(

Anyways, in Yast Package Manager search for "synaptics". Install the tool and you should be able to turn it off. Tell me if it works for you.

So, I am still getting my bearings to where everything is in OpenSUSE. In the ALPS driver setup there is no option to make it so that the touchpad isn't tap sensitive, which annoys the crap out of me. If I remove the two lines: Option "MaxTapTime" "180" Option "MaxTapMove" "110" do you think that would resolve the problem, or are there better ways to update "drivers" (i guess they are more like settings) in OpenSUSE. speaking of mouse response, it was setup as a IBM center touch thing (you know the little button that you could push around) and it was crazy sensitive. Sorry for the long comment, but I appreciate the help. I just migrated over from ubuntu to OpenSUSE 10.4 (wanted something that worked a little better beth my Dell Inspiron hardware out of the box).
