Thanks for the rapid fix of the problem! Now I just need to find why my
touchpad is recognized as
config/udev: Adding input device Generic PS/2 mouse (/dev/input/event3)
On a identical device running opensuse it is identified as
config/udev: Adding input device SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad

But that is another thread I think.

Best regards
Andreas
