 Posted: Tue Jul 14, 2015 3:52 pm Post subject: xorg-server-1.17.2 Thinkpad x201 button overly sensitive |
 |
|
After a recent upgrade to xorg-server-1.17.2, my Thinkpad x201 Trackpoint button(s) are overly sensitive to press, and often double-click where a single click was intended, phantom click when I'm getting positioned for an actual click, etc.
What programs display input sensitivity/polling parameters, and what config overrides defaults?
AFAIK, I'm using an dynamic/default xorg config. I used to have detailed x11 config on previous laptops with nvidia hardware, but with generic intel graphics it stopped being useful at some point.
FWIW, the trackpad is disabled on this machine. I'm not sure how, but I'm glad of it. I prefer the trackpoint only.

Found the necessary tool, xinput:

⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Sleep Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ ThinkPad Extra Buttons id=12 [slave keyboard (3)] |

I still need to find out which of these parameters will be effective in eliminating inadvertent button actions, but here they are. |

I'm even getting 'phantom taps' where my finger is near or just lightly touching the Trackpoint button, and any of click, click-hold, doubleclick, etc. can occur. The behavior makes web browsing and form input rather difficult.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. |
