On IBM Thinkpad T530. Fedora17. When setting the touchpad sensitivity by going to: System Settings > Input devices > Touchpad > General > Touch sensitivity, the slider labelling is the wrong way round. Expected behaviour: i.e. to make the Touchpad more sensitive to touch, one would expect to set the "Touch Sensitivity" slider to "High". (Right-hand side). Actual behaviour: But that makes the Touchpad LESS sensitive. Suggested correction: Either swap 'Low" and "High", or preferably replace "Low" with "More sensitive" and "High" with "Less sensitive". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set Touchpad sensitivity: System Settings > Input devices > Touchpad > General > Touch sensitivity, 2. Slide "Touch Sensitivity" slider to High. 3. Touchpad in actuality becomes LESS sensitive. Actual Results: Touchpad in actuality becomes LESS sensitive. Expected Results: Touchpad should become more sensitive. Suggested correction: Either swap 'Low" and "High", or preferably replace "Low" with "More sensitive" and "High" with "Less sensitive". Thanks!
That control module is provided by either synaptiks or kcm_touchpad, but neither of them is developed and tracked here. Please check which one you are using and report the problem to its authors.
