My touchpad customizer on wayland |

Why do you need to set the minimum and maximum speed? Can't you just set the speed in general to something very high? There's a "Pointer Speed" setting there on the Touchpad page, and it even has a spinbox where you can enter numbers in case you need something very fast or in between the tickmarks of the slider.

My touchpad customizer on wayland
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #1) > There's a "Pointer Speed" setting there on the Touchpad page On wayland I only have "Pointer acceleration" (screenshot in previous message). I tried to configure this and I managed to make the pointer move quickly, but when I move my finger very slowly on the touchpad, the pointer moves further than it should and faster than I would like and I can’t hit the very small buttons. If I reduce the acceleration, I start hitting the small buttons, but then the pointer speed is not fast enough. On x11 there is a different touchpad customizer and there I was able to configure it as I needed (screenshot in the first message), but on wayland I could not do this. I see. Unfortunately the settings page can only offer configurability for options that exist in the driver, and I'm afraid the Libinput driver offers no options for this. You could request this at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput/-/issues, but a more fruitful course of action is to instead submit a bug report there that explains the actual problem, which is that the range of speeds is not appropriate for your device. That can probably be fixed right at the source, and then you won't need a setting to change. |
Created attachment 163068 [details] Screenshot in case you forgot what it looks like in x11. On my laptop in a wayland session the cursor moves slowly. In wayland the touchpad settings are limited and I can’t correctly set the minimum and maximum speed, I can only do it in X11. Because of the slow cursor, I can’t use the wayland session. Please add these settings to wayland. If it is now possible to set the minimum and maximum speed of the touchpad cursor in the configuration file, please tell me how to do this.
