I have this laptop with the touchpad button at the bottom of touchpad, but part of touch sensitive area itself (Oh god, I *********g hate this kind of touchpad.)
When I install gsynaptics, it doesnt work properly. I strongly prefer to use gsynaptics however. The default driver just doesn’t feel right no matter how I tweak the acceleration.
Every time I drag to select multiple folders, or move a slider, my mouse will jump to top right corner of screen. Its like the touchpad recognized my finger at the button at the bottom of touchpad as yet another finger to control the cursor making it go nut. Im bad at explaining things, but here is a quote from a user in fedoraforum with similar problem (unanswered):
The problem I am having is that with this particular trackpad, the buttons are at the bottom of the pad but still part of the pad. So if I try to click and drag the mouse cursor gets all wacky. It is like the trackpad interprets the button area as part of the directional area and so the two fingers at that point work against each other.
Any way to fix this?
Whatever the workaround it is, I just want the cursor movement/acceleration experience provided by gsynaptics minus the annoyance mentioned above.
