Ever since the update to GNOME 3.20 a few weeks ago, the touchpad on my notebook (Lenovo T series) regularly interferes when I am typing, moving the pointer (and hence input focus) to random locations.
I used an option called "disable touchpad while typing" in the past, but according to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747340 this was removed by design. Reading that bug, it appears that libinput is supposed to avoid such situations, except that it does not properly (by design) and looking at my Tumbleweed system I see xf86-input-libinput is not installed: # zypper se libinput S | Name --+--------------------------- | libinput-devel | libinput-tools i | libinput-udev i | libinput10 | libinput10- t32bit | xf86-input-libinput | xf86-input-libinput-devel On the other hand, xf86-input-synaptics _is_ installed and when I manually invoke syndaemon, that addresses the problem. Manually invoking syndaemon does not strike me as an approach we want to force on our users (and I would not have thought of that either), so what can we do? Should syndaemon be started automatically? Gerald -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] To contact the owner, e-mail: [email protected]
