Thanks for this Alan, do you know what the KDE equiv of this?
Sorry for the dumb question but I've already googled for things like this.
Also, I've run the Scientific Linux Live DVD and my touchpad works fine. It's
a drastic solution swapping distributions, but so far I haven't found an
alternative</pre>

Try to use xinput for both mouse and touchpad.<br>
<br>
xinput list<br>
# xinput list_props "$device_name_or_number"<br>
xinput list-props 10<br>
Turn on three button emulation.<br>
xinput set-prop 10 "Evdev Middle Button Emulation" 1<br>
