Synaptics. I don't know if it's in SuSE9.1, though. I got the driver
from http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340/touchpad/.

My mouse section in XF86Config:

    Section "InputDevice"
      Driver       "synaptics"
      Identifier   "Mouse[2]"
      Option       "Device" "/dev/mouse"
      Option        "Protocol"      "psaux"
      Option        "LeftEdge"      "1700"
      Option        "RightEdge"     "5300"
      Option        "TopEdge"       "1700"
      Option        "BottomEdge"    "4200"
      Option        "FingerLow"     "25"
      Option        "FingerHigh"    "30"
      Option        "MaxTapTime"    "180"
      Option        "MaxTapMove"    "220"
      Option        "VertScrollDelta" "100"
      Option        "MinSpeed"      "0.06"
      Option        "MaxSpeed"      "0.12"
      Option        "AccelFactor" "0.0010"
      Option        "SHMConfig"     "on"
    EndSection

Works like a charm.

Cheers,
	Joachim
