Thanks for the reply.
I ran a test with Ubuntu and had the same problem. Followed the "How to
get both T520 trackpoint and touchpad working in F15" while digging
around on the web and found enough information that I think I understand
one needs to try something in an xorg.conf.d *.conf file. I worked out
what seemed to be the best info I could get online ... and then got
wiped out by a case of bronchitis and decided it was the wrong time to
try it.
If anyone expresses an interest, I'll post what I was going to try for
feedback/corrections once I've rejoined the human race. The touchpad is
"Synaptics PS/2 Port Touchpad v7.4".
For what it is worth, I have a niece who is really hoping I can't solve
the problem and have to give up on that computer (smile).

have a clickpad I can play with at work and tried out the beta of SuSe
and FC16. both have better support but the right click and center
click for does not work -- tools i need. you can set tapping to 2 or 3
fingers to get the right and center options, but who would use this --
12 year olds?! a simple left/right/center and move the mouse when you
move your finger would be a delight. This all made it clear to me that
choosing a laptop for linux should still be researched, maybe bring a
pendrive with linux on it to test before buying. hope you feel better.
