Touchpad not working - SuSE 8.2 - Toshiba Satellite A30

Hi all,

I have a bit of an inexplicable problem....

Up until today, on my Toshiba Satellite A30 Laptop running SuSE 8.2 Professional, I had a dual mouse (USB Mouse / Touchpad) configuration in X and everything was running fine.

I booted the laptop today, and for some reason unbeknownst to me, the touchpad has stopped working.

Now.... it isn't a "hardware" issue. If I restart the X server, the Touchpad works UNTIL I move the USB mouse. Then the touchpad refuses to do anything.

If I log into KDE, and launch YaST2 Mouse config, selecting the PS2 mouse (i.e the touchpad) works whilst I'm testing it, but as soon as I apply it, bam, it stops working again.

All the while this is going on the USB mouse is working fine.

I have spent all afternoon inside vi fiddling around with XF86Config, but nothing seems to get things back the way they were.

Now... I have not done anything (to my knowledge) that should have messed things up. I have reverted to a backup XF86Config that was DEFINITELY working before, and the Touchpad still refuses to work. I have re-read the "Second Mouse in XFree86" HOWTO, and my settings are fine. I have booted with a "stock" SuSE kernel and the same problem is there. So if it isn't hardware and it isn't XF86Config, then WTF is it?!?!?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, because the laptop will soon be going out of the window!

Cheers all,
ZB

NAME
SDL::Mouse - SDL Bindings for the Mouse device CATEGORY
Core, Mouse CONSTANTS
The constants for SDL::Mouse belong to SDL::Events/SDL::Event, under the export tag of ':state'. METHODS
warp_mouse SDL::Mouse::warp_mouse( $x, $y ); Set the position of the mouse cursor (generates a mouse motion event). Even if the mouse is warped to where it currently is, a mouse motion event is generated. set_cursor SDL::Mouse::set_cursor( $cursor_object ); Sets the currently active cursor to the specified one. See SDL::Cursor for details on cursor objects. If the cursor is currently visible, the change will be immediately represented on the display. "set_cursor()" can be used to force cursor redraw, if this is desired for any reason. get_cursor my $cursor_object = SDL::Mouse::get_cursor; Gets the currently active mouse cursor. show_cursor my $return = SDL::Mouse::show_cursor( $state ); Toggle whether or not the cursor is shown on the screen. Passing "SDL_ENABLE" displays the cursor and passing "SDL_DISABLE" hides it. The current state of the mouse cursor can be queried by passing "SDL_QUERY", either "SDL_DISABLE" or "SDL_ENABLE" will be returned. use SDL; use SDL::Mouse; use SDL::Video; use SDL::Events ':state'; #For the constants SDL::init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO); SDL::Video::set_video_mode(640, 480, 16, SDL_SWSURFACE); printf("Cursor is %s ", SDL::Mouse::show_cursor(SDL_QUERY) ? 'visible' : 'not visible'); sleep(3); SDL::Mouse::show_cursor(SDL_DISABLE); printf("Cursor is %s ", SDL::Mouse::show_cursor(SDL_QUERY) ? 'visible' : 'not visible'); sleep(3); SDL::Mouse::show_cursor(SDL_ENABLE); printf("Cursor is %s ", SDL::Mouse::show_cursor(SDL_QUERY) ? 'visible' : 'not visible'); sleep(3); SEE ALSO
