Bug 103219

Created attachment 134793 [details]
evemu log for scroll (poor sensitivity)

I looked at my dmesg output and saw this.

'psmouse serio1: synaptics: Your touchpad (PNP: DLL05eb PNP0f13) says it can support a different bus. If i2c-hid and hid-rmi are not used, you might want to try setting psmouse.synaptics_intertouch to 1 and report this to linux-input@vger.kernel.org.'

When I set the kernel parameter and booted again, the touchpad was behaving with the following issues :

- lower sensitivity
- accidental middle clicks (which paste whatever I previously selected)
- no acceleration

I looked at Xorg log and for both synaptics_intertouch = 0 or 1, libinput driver was used.
