Typecover touchpad cursor movement delay

[ZestyRice]

I've noticed that the first time I use the touchpad on the typecover there is a slight delay between my action and the cursor movement. The mouse will jump pretty far across the screen. It will then work fine moving smoothly until I stop using the typecover for more than 6-10 seconds, and then it will happen again. Move my finger across the touchpad and the cursor jumps across the screen instead of moving smoothly.

Environment

• Hardware model: Surface Pro 5 (2017)
• Kernel version: Latest surface patched kernel
• Distribution: Ubuntu 22.10

I can confirm I have the exact same issue.

The typecover on those devices should be connected via USB. SO maybe it's something related to USB runtime suspend?

Thank you for your input qzed! I wish I had the patience, however, I switched to Ubuntu and the issue was resolved.

The rebel in me says I should go back to Debian to try and fix it. Learning about usb runtime while in ubuntu so that ill be ready.
