Title:
  Default Hysteresis causes poor, sticky and jumpy movement on Logitech
  T650

Status in xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have a Logitech T650 touch-pad.  Out of the box, this device feels
  very poor to use because the HorizHysteresis and VertHysteresis
  settings are quite high.  It is very difficult to make small
  movements, and if you want to move slightly diagonally it is basically
  impossible.  The amount of movement on screen that it jumps is several
  mm on a 27" 1080p monitor.

  It's hard to explain how horrible this is to use, but I would consider
  this "high" on the poor usability factor, not just a minor annoyance.

  
  This setting causes movement to be ignored until it reaches the threshold.. 
it defaults to 0.5% of the hardwares diagonal size or about "14".  This is 
designed to reduce noise on some devices, but I suspect the main issue here is 
that this is quite a large trackpad that is also very accurate.  The hardware 
area is 2606x2110 which seems to be at least double most laptop trackpads.

  
  Further testing on similar devices would be required, but this default 
algorithm may need some tweaking for device size and to scale better.. but 
obviously it is hard to know how this will affect other devices.  Otherwise is 
there some way to build up a hardware quirks list? Probably not ideal but 
better than nothing.

  The following significantly improves the feel:
  synclient HorizHysteresis=0 VertHysteresis=0

  As a side note, the scroll speed is also quite slow which again I
  suspect is related to the device being larger than many touch pads.
  VertScrollDelta and HorizScrollDelta of -65 work much better than the
  default -78 (or +78 for non-natural scrolling)

  
  Neither of these settings can be configured in settings.
