It works as expected in HEAD with that commit reverted.

This bug did not exist on Ubuntu 11.10 with default X stack. The pointer sometimes keeps moving in the same direction when the finger stops, and the pointer moves too fast. Small and precise movements are unpredictable, so the touchpad is nearly unusable for text edit, or even clicking on window controls. I had to set speed and acceleration to the lowest value to use this touchpad, but this is not even a real workaround. I know this bug is known on the debian and archlinux bugtrackers, users report the same issue on launchpad.

Is this still an issue? If so, please get me the evtest description for the device, maybe it is hardware-specific (single-touch vs multitouch touchpads) and your /proc/bus/input/devices.

Drop this in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-synaptics-nograb.conf Section "InputClass" Identifier "synaptics don't grab" MatchDriver "synaptics" Option "GrabEventDevice" "off" EndSection and restart X. that should stop synaptics from grabbing the device, allowing you to capture it while X is running. Also, if you could record the output and description with evemu, that'd make it a lot easier for me to replay. https://launchpad.net/utouch- evemu, then run evemu-describe and evemu-record Reply at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-input- synaptics/+bug/921082/comments/23 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On 2012-02-17T07:04:16+00:00 Loris Zinsou wrote: I made these log files with the recommanded tools: N: ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad I: 0011 0002 000e 0000 P: 08 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 B: 00 0b 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 B: 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 B: 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 B: 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 B: 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 B: 01 00 00 03 00 00 00 00 00 B: 01 20 e4 00 00 00 00 00 00 B: 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 B: 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 B: 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 B: 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 B: 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 B: 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 B: 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 B: 03 03 00 00 11 00 80 60 02 B: 04 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 B: 05 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 B: 11 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 B: 12 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 B: 15 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 B: 15 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 A: 00 0 1280 0 0 A: 01 0 704 0 0 A: 18 0 255 0 0 A: 1c 0 15 0 0 A: 2f 0 1 0 0 A: 35 0 1280 0 0 A: 36 0 704 0 0 A: 39 0 65535 0 0 evtest.log http://ubuntuone.com/3r4EKxVuBadkifGWcDtav7 evemu.log http://ubuntuone.com/0qx8qll7jXeQ796eVt9RoU The sensitivity bug, and pointer keep moving bug were triggered during the recording (a few times for the second one).
