Thanks #29!
Your fix worked for me as well.
I have an old HP Pavillon g6.
I calculated my touchpad edge like so:
1. Physically measure the touchpad.
Mine is 90mm x 50mm
2. Find the input device used for the touchpad.
$ ll /dev/input/by-path/
platform-i8042-serio-1-event-mouse -> ../event1
3. Run edge detector using the measurement done in step 1, on the device found
in step 2
$ sudo touchpad-edge-detector 90x50 /dev/input/event1
Run the finger on the touchpad until the number stop changing, then hit
CTRL+C
4. Edit the evdev config file
$ sudo vim /lib/udev/hwdb.d/60-evdev.hwdb
Comment out the whole "HP Pavillon g6" section
Added the following lines, bellow the now commented out "HP Pavillon g6"
