Hi G.W.,
I don't think the debian-devel mailing list is the right place to debug
this. Debugging this will need going back and forth over logs etc. The
best place to advance on this problem is to go the debian IRC channel
https://wiki.debian.org/IRC and do the diagnosing interactively there.
Greetings,

Are the developers aware of a major bug in the "ELAN0674:00 04F3:3193 Touchpad"
touchpad driver?
I tried getting help for the problem of the touchpad suddenly requiring 2 fingers to move
the cursor around (on USER list) but no help was offered. The touchpad situation
deteriorates to get worse with more things going wrong without regular restarts. Having
gone a few days without restarting the computer the touchpad settings have no failed to
work at all. For example, even though I have "tap to click" disabled, tapping
still results in a click. Even though I have the setting enabled to disable touchpad
while typing, touchpad is not disable while typing.
these problems prevent any work from getting done cause typing results in the
cursor moving position on its own resulting in my typing into a place above or
below where I'm actually typing, among other problems.
Can anything be done to fix this situation? Or is my only fix to move to a
different distro? The main reason I chose Debian is to not have to deal with
crippling use bugs like this one. Are the devs doing anything to fix this bug
ASAP? Can you offer any help?
I am running Debian 11 fully up to date on a Lenovo X13 Yoga Gen 2.

I very much want to restore single finger function on touchpad without having
to reboot. After using touchpad on Lenovo laptop for a while it often starts
requiring 2 fingers on the touchpad to move the cursor and actions that would
require 2 fingers then start requiring 3. Single finger is ignored entirely.
My touchpad driver appears to be: ELAN0674:00 04F3:3193 Touchpad
Rebooting always corrects the issue. but executing the following command does NOT correct the issue: xinput
disable "ELAN0674:00 04F3:3193 Touchpad" && xinput enable "ELAN0674:00 04F3:3193
Touchpad"
Perhaps this is not a good medium for trying to solve this problem. Is there something
akin to "Ask Ubuntu" that serves the Debian community? If this is not a good
medium for solving this problem, can you please direct me an appropriate medium? I posted
this question on the Debian forums but have received zero replies.
