Touchpad not working during install, delay after typing

#1 Post by rorschach »

I'm having two issues -- possibly related? -- related to my touchpad.

The first might be a libinput issue (I believe it's new within the last year or so): After typing, two-finger scrolling does not work until a delay of what seems to be a full second or more has passed. It's not a movement threshold issue, since wild movements don't fix the issue, nor is this delay experienced without first typing.

Note that moving the pointer and clicking with the touchpad work immediately after typing. Only two-finger scrolling seems to be delayed.

The second issue is that the touchpad does not function whatsoever during installation. Using the graphical installer, I have to rely entirely on the keyboard to navigate.

I'm running a fairly stock testing install, no manual configuration.

GNOME provides touchpad options such as natural scrolling and two-finger scrolling, and those settings work.
