I use Fedora on a thinkpad T61p. Most things are good, but when I'm away from my desk using it on my lap I find that many movements on the touchpad cause the desktop to rapidly cycle through apps on the desktop. All of these are accidents but I just can't keep from accidentally striking the scroll areas of the pad, and depending on where the cursor is, madly switching desktops and apps. So I'm constantly having to reposition myself on the correct app and restore hidden windows. Is there any way to disable this behaviour? I use fedora 10 and 11 with kde. wcn _______________________________________________ laptop mailing list laptop@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/laptop

You don't say which version of kde you're using, but search their site for kcm_touchpad. I got it from the community repo.for openSUSE 11.2. They should have a version for fedora also. After you install it, there will be an entry in "Configure Desktop/General/Keyboard & Mouse/Touchpad where you can change its settings.
