Description of problem: After installing Fedora 30, I found that vertical sensitivity is much higher than horizontal sensitivity. Version-Release number: 1.14.1. How reproducible: Always, because I got it in Kubuntu 19.04 too. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora 30. Actual results: Vertical sensitivity is higher than horizontal sensitivity and moving the cursor horizontally is slow. Expected results: Vertical and horizontal touchpad speeds are proper. Additional info: Laptop: HP Pavilion g6. I didn't have the problem in previous versions of distributions. I don't know exactly when it started.
please run the touchpad-edge-detector tool from the libevdev-utils package and post the output here, thanks.
How to use it? Sorry. I tried: $ sudo touchpad-edge-detector 40x60 /dev/input/event0 $ sudo touchpad-edge-detector 40x60 /dev/input/event1 The output was: Error: this device does not have abs axes I chose the size inaccurately.
you'll need to run it against the correct event node, run libinput record (libinput-utils.rpm) without arguments, it'll give you a list of devices. Pick your touchpad from that list. Note that you may have 2 touchpad kernel devices, only one of which will send events. So while libinput record is running, touch the device - if you see events scroll past that's the right event node. Once you identified the device node, use that same event node for the touchpad-edge-detector
I apologize for the late reply. After either installing Fedora 31 or installing it followed by some updates, the problem seems to be fixed. $ sudo touchpad-edge-detector 40x60 /dev/input/event4 Touchpad SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad on /dev/input/event4 Move one finger around the touchpad to detect the actual edges Kernel says: x [1222..5734], y [910..4974] Touchpad sends: x [2970..4853], y [1948..4009] |^C Touchpad size as listed by the kernel: 94x42mm User-specified touchpad size: 40x60mm Calculated ranges: 1883/2061 Suggested udev rule: # <Laptop model description goes here> evdev:name:SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad:dmi:bvnInsyde:bvrF.25:bd05/29/2013:svnHewlett-Packard:pnHPPaviliong6NotebookPC:pvr0885120000005D10000600000:rvnHewlett-Packard:rn183E:rvr56.32:cvnHewlett-Packard:ct10:cvrChassisVersion:* EVDEV_ABS_00=2970:4853:47 EVDEV_ABS_01=1948:4009:34 EVDEV_ABS_35=2970:4853:47 EVDEV_ABS_36=1948:4009:34
Recently, touchpad movement is slow, before login to account only.
There is a hwdb entry in systemd for the Paviliong6, but that seems to be a different device than what you have. To fix this, find the 60-evdev.hwdb file on your system, it has the instructions on what to do with this snippet. You can shorten the lookup rule a bit so you end up with this: evdev:name:SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad:dmi:*svnHewlett-Packard:pnHPPaviliong6NotebookPC:* EVDEV_ABS_00=2970:4853:47 EVDEV_ABS_01=1948:4009:34 EVDEV_ABS_35=2970:4853:47 EVDEV_ABS_36=1948:4009:34 This should take care of any pointer movement issues. Ideally you can submit this to systemd upstream as a PR, the 60-evdev.hwdb file has instructions for that too.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 30 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 30 on 2020-05-26. 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 '30'.
