How do i stop this happening?

nedvis

synaptics is laptop touchpad device driver and if you're using SuSE on desktop PC you can disable or even better delete or uninstall driver and service using YAST software manager .

open console terminal windows login as superuser ( su ) type password and then type

/sbin/service synaptics stop ( to stop the service deamon)

and then

/sbin/chkconfig --del synaptics ( to delete entry )

or

/sbin/chkconfig --level 2345 synaptics off

good luck
