Description Alan McGovern 2008-04-26 02:03:51 UTC
If you click on the 'touchpad' item in the Control Centre, it immediately crashes. I'm running gnome factory.

I'm getting this bug too.  And I'm not sure if it's related, but after I had the Touchpad window crash, my Touchpad mouse no longer works (but the mouse buttons do).  The funny thing is, it works just fine before I log in.  It's only after I log in my touchpad stops working (i.e. the mouse pointer doesn't move at all).

After the last factory update (18th of may) the gsynaptics tool works (no crash) , but after using it, logging out and back in the mouse pointer can't be moved any more. Click buttons do still work, only pointer is unmovable.

Plugging in a USB mouse gives back pointer control (not using the touchpad but only by using the usb mouse).
Other user accounts are not affected.. up to the point where the touchpad tool is started or used running is that account and logout/login. Then the same issue happens.
Reverting the users home directory back to default brings the touchpad mouse back to life, so it seems like a user config file is modified incorrectly.

bug 388236 seems related.

I've got the same problem. It was a very simple bug, just open touchpad applet in control center with you keyboard and increse the sensitivity and acceleration greater than 0. Don't know why the values are set by default to 0.

This is not about a YaST module.
The touchpad module that is mentioned here is gsynaptics.

Reassinging to gnome-maintainers.

This problem, or at least a closely related problem, is not resolved in openSUSE 11.0 final. Please see this thread:
