On those devices, the touchpad occasionally +sends an event for the second finger to move to position 4095/0 before +moving back to the original position. libinput detects this movement and +removes it but depending on the interaction this may cause a smaller jump +later when the coordinates reset to the new position of the finger. + +Some more information is available in `Gitlab Issue #492 <https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput/-/issues/492>`__. diff --git a/src/evdev-mt-touchpad.c b/src/evdev-mt-touchpad.c index d8db704b..4c017c35 100644 --- a/src/evdev-mt-touchpad.c +++ b/src/evdev-mt-touchpad.c @@ -1549,6 +1549,19 @@ tp_detect_jumps(const struct tp_dispatch *tp, abs_distance = hypot(mm.x, mm.y) * reference_interval/tdelta; rel_distance = abs_distance - t->jumps.last_delta_mm; + /* Special case for the ALPS devices in the Lenovo ThinkPad E465, + * E550.
