Hi Everyone,

First of all, I'll appologise, I'm a complete Linux newbie. The thing is I'd gladly learn it and get rid of windows in a while, and OpenSuse seemed like a good place to start.

I had to install OpenSuse by using the safemode kernel, otherwise it crashed, but it boots just fine now.

The problem is, the (p/s2) mouse and the touchpad both do not work (it didn't work during installation either). I've been looking around the internet for solutions in the past few days, but nothing has made me any wiser.

I've tried to look at the /xorg.conf.d/11-mouse.conf file, which lists a number of different "section: "InputClass"" blocks for specific devices (logitech trackball, ms intellimouse explorer, ...), all using the driver "evdev", none of them using the option "device" which some people claim should be "psaux".

In the KDE and Yates2 configurations I could not change anything (that i found anyway) to make it work.

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

If you require additional information, off course I'd be happy to provide you with it.

Best regards,
-G
