Am using Debian 11 gnome on HP Elitebook 9470m laptop. Installed alongside Windows 10.
Post installation /boot/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi customisation was required to get Grub working, but took only a minute.
System is fully uptodate.
I've noticed the on screen mouse pointer animation is pretty chunky. This animation problem is not present within Windows 10. I'm assuming it might be a synaptic-touchpad issue...
Code: Select all
$ egrep -i 'synap|alps|etps|elan' /proc/bus/input/devices
N: Name="SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
xserver-xorg-input-synaptics 1.9.1-2 was available but not installed.
Installing this package and rebooting did not improve the poor mouse pointer animation.
I've had the same problem in the past with other Linux distros on this laptop, and solved it by trying different versions of offered xserver-xorg-input-synaptics packages until one did the trick. However I have not observed more than one version of the xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package being offered within the Synaptics Package Manager.
Suggestions and comments welcomed and appreciated.
Thank you.
