Thought it'd be worth filing a bug to track this. As discussed in #wayland today: <nanonyme> So, what did you have to do again to make mouse in Gnome Wayland not dog-slow? <nanonyme> Or is that a missing feature? :) <nanonyme> It's kinda not-at-all usable with a touchpad by default <drago01> nanonyme: yeah it is currently not useable <drago01> nanonyme: libinputs default values are not good and we have no config interface yet <drago01> jadahl: ^^ can we change the default values? <drago01> jadahl: it should be useble without explicit user configuration <nanonyme> Thanks ;) I have the same experience as nanonyme - wayland is just unusable with a trackpad, I have to scroll a dozen times across the trackpad to get anywhere. Even if it's harder to wire up configurability, the defaults should at least work for whatever's the widest cross-section of typical trackpads that can be managed.
Should've improved significantly with commit bb3edf4c940e66bf5064be61fea0857aa623d58d Author: Hans de Goede <hdegoede@redhat.com> Date: Tue Jul 1 14:53:18 2014 +0200 touchpad: Switch to smooth simple acceleration code from filter.c Also linking this here: http://who-t.blogspot.com.au/2014/07/pointer-acceleration-in-libinput.html We're not quite done yet with accel improvements.
Thanks. Has that landed in F21? I'll test it out later if so.
yep, libinput-0.4.0-2.fc21 has the big change which should make most of the difference. I'm planning for a 0.5 release this week which has the rest.
libinput 0.5 builds for fedora: F21: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=7183218 F22: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=7183176
Closing this bug for now, I think 0.6 should be fine in that regard. There's always improvements, but I think for now it's usable.
