Description Sakari Kapanen 2015-02-25 15:23:50 UTC
Testing the xf86-input-libinput driver for an Elantech touchpad on my laptop (Asus Zenbook UX32VD), I noticed one minor annoyance. While the touchpad acceleration speed can be already adjusted to taste, two-finger scrolling doesn't obey that setting. For me, the scrolling is way too fast. It would be good to have a separate option to select the scrolling speed. Maybe it could be similar to the existing AccelSpeed setting.

Pretty sure this is the same as bug 89333, so I'm closing this as duplicate for now. Let me know if that's not the case.

I don't think this is a full duplicate.  bug 89333 and its fix don't introduce any way to adjust the touchpad scrolling speed.  I think that remains a useful functionality still, because some touchpads are still too fast.  It should be an adjustable value like pointer speed is.

scrolling is not accelerated in libinput, so while pointer speed is a libinput property, scrolling speed simply matches the finger movement. There is nothing to configure at this level in the stack, this is something that would need to be sorted in the toolkits/compositor.

Hi I need the opposite , for me the scrolling speed is way too slow on P50


Peter: "this is something that would need to be sorted in the toolkits/compositor."

Sorry I didn't quite understand where do I need to open the issue for this feature request?

GTK or Qt, depending on what toolkit you use. Or EFL, or whatever else there is, there's quite a few of them to count...
