On a slightly related note, the touchpad identifies itself as "SynPS/2 Synaptics Touchpad," though I'm not 100% sure it's a synaptics device. I foundnd the mouse moved ever so slightly when I touched or released the pad -- so I changed the expected finger size: xinput | grep 'SynPS/2' # to get the device id, should be 11 xinput list-props 11 # change "Synaptics Finger (271)" xinput --set-prop 11 37 42 0 # 37=min size of a finger, 42=max size of a finger # the previous value was: xinput --set-prop 11 25 30 0 David
