Seth, thanks for your extensive feedback regarding the trackstick. Perceived behavior after patch application is that it's hard to point exact pixels. It feels like the cursor is too fast no matter how gently the trackstick is pushed.
Changing the acceleration factor does actually have expected effect, i.e. changed acceleration. However no matter whether the acceleration is set towards higher values or lower values, one feels a significant (and constant) loss of "pointing precision" in the pointer while it is controlled via trackstick. If I understood correctly various touchpad revisions installed by different manufacturers report the same signature thus one has to use very compromise settings because the driver doesn't know which touchpad revision is installed (unless e.g. DMI table is inspected for retrieving more information about laptop). If it is the case I can understand it must be pain to satisfy everyone. Would you mind mentioning some few hints for anyone willing to poke around the trackstick sensitivity in the source code coming with the debian package of the driver? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/550625 Title: Alps touchpad is recognized but synaptics clients and scrolling do not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/550625/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
