Description fhortner 2016-09-18 06:03:26 UTC

Description of problem:
I have a HP EliteBook 8440p as well as a HP Elitebook 840 G3
on both the Touchstik (on windows called Synaptics Touchstyk) is too slow to be usable.

In Gnome/Wayland xinput list shows the following:

Virtual core pointer              id=2 [master pointer (3)]
   Virtual core XTEST pointer     id=4 [slave pointer  (2)]
   xwayland-pointer:12            id=6 [slave pointer  (2)]



in Gnome (X11) xinput list shows the following:

Virtual core pointer               id=2  [master pointer (3)]
   Virtual core XTEST pointer      id=4  [slave pointer  (2)]
   PS/2 Generic Mouse              id=11 [slave pointer  (2)]
   SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad      id=12 [slave pointer  (2)]


I've tried several settings, but it did not help. There are no sensitivity settings available in /sys/bus/serio/devices/serioX
in X11 setting the Accel Speed using the command xinput set-prop 11 275 1.0 to 1.0 did not the job.
Is there any solution? I'm used to use the Touchstik (Trackpint) and do not like using the touchpad.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 24

Are there any news concerning the issue?

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2017-07-25 23:06:35 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '24'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2017-08-08 17:26:38 UTC

Fedora 24 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-08-08. Fedora 24 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
