Well, its busy putting the finishing touches and the reboot to rawhide right now. It just asked for a runlevel 3 passwd.
And the first casualty is my accessory usb mouse, its dead and I am stuck with that totally worthless scratchpad, which I swear picks up the local radio station, its totally spastic if the hand isn't held so high above the keyboard when typing that its strictly one finger typing.
Gene, I think if you look at System -> Hardware -> Mouse in F11, there is a setting to disable the touchpad when typing. If you don't see that, or if you use KDE and it doesn't offer that option, check out syndaemon, which is the utility that accomplishes that. It's part of the synaptics driver package.
