Description Armando Cerna 2017-08-23 15:16:47 UTC
Hello I am running Arch Linux on kernel 4.12.8-2-ARCH. My problem is very similar to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=96267 in which when the touchpad is disabled with xinput I constantly being put into click-to-drag lock based on my palms touching the touchpad.  

My understanding of the resolution for this issue is to add "psmouse.synaptics_intertouch=1" to my kernel boot options per the warning in dmesg.  However even after adding that parameter even though the warning is no longer present in my dmesg output my touchpad still shows up as 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad', my understanding is that it should show up more like 'Synaptics TMXXXX' with RMI enabled.  Thanks for your help!

Is this still a problem? If so, can you please rephrase what the exact issue is, thanks.
