Hello everyone! This is my very first post here because I can’t find help about this anywhere else.
I’ve got a “delay way” on my touchpad for some time, I don’t remember when it appeared, I doubt I had it on Fedora 33 … in other words, as someone describes it in a stackexchange thread I found looking for a solution :
When I touch the pad and start moving my finger, at first, nothing happens. I have to move the finger for a few millimeters before the mouse pointer would respond. It then registers the movement completely, which means that whenever I start using the touch pad, I have a skip by tens of pixels in the pointer movement. This makes the touch pad unusable for any “precision” work, such as hitting the close button on a tab.
I tried to install Fedora 34 on the second drive in my T14, the touchpad works fine without this issue on the Live session, it also works fine on the freshly installed system, until I perform the upgrade, then rebooting the issue is there just like on my old installation …
I’ve seen people talk about changing values of the touchpad settings with xinput but I really don’t understand any of this and don’t want to start shooting blindly with commands I don’t understand.
Thank you in advance for your help! I hope a simple fix can be found as this issue is obviously very debilitating and embarrassing.
Here is a command that might help I guess :
xinput --list-props 13
