Touchpad issue
Touchpad issue
Hi,
I have a problem with the touchpad. It's difficult to explain but I try. I would like the mouse sensitivity to be higher with longer movements and lower with smaller movements. Like in Windows. In other Linux distributions I didn't had this issue (now I have Debian 10). I have to fix it otherwise the touchpad is unusable.
Thank you in advance.

Re: Touchpad issue
KDE Bullseye lets you choose between flat and adaptive pointer acceleration, but there are probably other options out there. Older versions should also have this option (=Buster).

Re: Touchpad issue
I had the problem with hyper sensitive touchpad on all my laptops with Mint18.3 and LMDE3 mint is a spinoff debian-ubuntu-mint and lmde debian-mint but it worked on both and perhaps it works in debian to.Mirawara wrote:Hi,

Mouse GUI doesn't work, and I found a terminal solution thru google and on some forum back in 2018.
Code: Select all
user@a73:~$ xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad id=13 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Video Bus id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Sleep Button id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ USB 2.0 UVC VGA WebCam id=10 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Asus WMI hotkeys id=11 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=12 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ BRLTTY 5.4 Linux Screen Driver Keyboard id=14 [slave keyboard (3)]
user@a73:~$
so with
Code: Select all
xinput set-prop "13" "Synaptics Finger" 30 60 255
Second number is how hard you need to press on the pad to get a reaction... The first and the third number i don't really know what thay ar doing as i don't notice anything when i change them.. i fond the code on some forum a couple of years ago
And i have installed: synclient
Code: Select all
user@a73:~$ synclient

I really don't understand code, but we have experts in here so they maybe can explain it better.
But it works.
It will reset every reboot so i made a script so i don't need touch the terminal more then necessary.
Code: Select all

synclient vertEdgeScroll=0
synclient VertScrollDelta=150

synclient MinSpeed=0
synclient MaxSpeed=1
synclient AccelFactor=0.0402229
xinput set-prop "12" "Synaptics Finger" 30 60 255
and saved it as a text file called: mousesettings.sh
Right click on the file, click Properties.. then the tab Rights.
check the box: Allow the file to run as a program
Now you just bubble click on it every time and the mouse behaves as you want.
Test which parameters suit you and your computer.
And I'm grateful if anyone wants to correct me on what I'm got wrong or right. I am only a noobie on Linux
Why make things complicated in life, if you can make it easier for yourself... Do it. ;o)

In any case I have tried but synclient doesn't work. It tells me that the synaptic drivers are not loaded.
