Hey, i just finished setting up my laptop with suse enterprise desktop 10.1 pre-release. First thing i should say is it's realllly nice and almost everything worked perfectly with my compaq r3000. Anyway, the two things i needed to tweak were:

typing synclient MaxTapTime=0 in the terminal to turn off tapping on my touchpad

setting up my wireless with ndiswrapper.

The only thing is to make it run the touchpad tweak and ifup automatically when i start up linux. How do i do this? Can i just make a shall script that says those two commands and put it somewhere? Sorry, i'm rather new to linux Anyway, any help would be really appreciated! Thanks everyone!

Hey, i just figured out on another forum how to run ifup automatically through /etc/init.d/boot.local, but i still can't figure out where to put the synclient one. It needs to run after the touchpad and i would assume, window manager, have started. Any ideas anyone? Thanks again

try putting that in /etc/rc.d/rc.local

why not use this to control your touchpad?

that way instead of working around, you can actaully turn off the tapping.

as per getting it to run at start, write a script and set it to auto run with your window manager.

Thank you both. I actually just added it as a runtime command through gnome though in the control panel. I sort of forget where actually, but thats the gist of what i did anyway. As far as the second solution of turning it off directly, that would also disable scrolling which i really like. This works extremely well and now that it runs at startup its flawless. I'm glad to say i've got suse running as near perfectly as i can think on my laptop (compaq r3000) now.
