Thanks @Bob (caltinay) for the libinput insight.
I'm using Linux Mint 19, a Bionic based distro, and was suffering from
the same issue.
libinput, in fact, was already installed. All I had to do is change the
driver to libinput creating a file called
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-libinput.conf wit
jorgens, thanks so much for reporting that!
With that information I found that I only had to copy a single file in Debian
(stretch/sid) to make the touchpad work flawlessly (using libinput instead of
synaptics):
cp /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-libinput.conf
After struggling with this for a long time I found out that there is a
"new" driver for input devices: libinput, that replaces synaptics. I
followed the install instructions as given here:
