Interesting. Is this a new thing or has the problem been there for a while? I can't tell from the above description. The laptop has been running more or less continously, execpt for nightly suspends, since I bought it in the summer of 2022, and I haven't noticed anything strange with the touchpad before. Also I don't have any windows to boot into. I scrubbed that when I installed debian. > https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Touchpad_Synaptics#MATE > MATE will by default overwrite various options for your touchpad. > Maybe your problem has something to do with MATE? Could be. I tried disabling MATE config writing as outloned in the above URL and logged out of the desktop and back in again. But the touchpad still isn't working, unfortunately?
