Public bug reported:
Some laptop touchpads are annoyingly unresponsive when the software
implements any kind of hysteresis. This includes Lenovo X1 Carbon gen 4
and 5. Such devices have lower precision and higher lag in the touchpad
hardware than you might expect, so need the software to not slow them
down further.
The problem now is that using libinput by default slows down all
touchpads and makes them less precise. For hardware that was already
unresponsive, introducing software that further reduces the
responsiveness is very frustrating, borderline unusable.
When we were using Xorg the simple solution was to adjust hysteresis
with 'synclient'. However now we're using Wayland we're stuck with
libinput and I don't know how to fix it any more. Even Xorg logins don't
seem to use libinput now, so there's no 'synclient' workaround available
there anymore either.
