I thought I'd try this forum to see if things are different here.

It seems that certain DE developers are of the opinion that only right-handed laptop users are entitled to use tap-to-click. When I change my mouse settings to left-handed in KDE (OpenSUSE 12.3 KDE liveDVD), LXDE and XFCE, tap-to-click goes away and a tap on my touchpad brings up the context menu instead. I.e., a tap on the touchpad acts like a right-click for right-handed users.

I have seen replies that are way off the mark regarding this problem. It seems that some people reply without setting their mouse to be left-handed on a laptop and then seeing what happens when they tap their touchpad.

Micro$oft got this right (correct) decades ago and some Linux DEs do as well. I mostly use Linuxmint 14 Cinnamon 32 bit right now because tap-to-click works correctly for me, but I also have tap-to-click working correctly for left-handed users in Puppy Linux as well.

Will this never be resolved? ]]> Window/Desktop Managers squarepegger http://forums.justlinux.com/showthread.php?154415-KDE-LXDE-and-XFCE-hostile-to-left-handed-laptop-users http://forums.justlinux.com/showthread.php?154413-Strange-problem-I-can-t-figure-out...&goto=newpost Wed, 24 Apr 2013 17:10:16 GMT So I just installed OpenSuSE 12.3 yesterday and everything works great... except!

So I just installed OpenSuSE 12.3 yesterday and everything works great... except! Sound from streaming/web content. I have system sounds, can listen to music but when I watch a movie either from my system OR online or try to watch a YouTUBE vid... no audio? Not sure why? All the mixer settings are correct and enabled and it worked fine in 12.2.
