Fixing jumping cursor on X230?

[orschiro]

Dear @faf0,

I found your script collection. Thank you very much for your work!

I have a question:

Can your scripts be used as such to fix a jumping cursor on a X230 machine?

The following screencast demonstrates the problem:

Hi Robert,

I have never encountered the jumping cursor issue myself and unfortunately the script does not make an effort to fix it. If you discover a fix, let me know and I will consider adding it to the scripts.

Hi Fabian,

I will! However, currently I am relatively clueless as to what is causing this jumping on tap.

Warmly,

~Robert

Hi Robert,

It's been a while. Is it possible that this issue is related to libinput Tapping Drag Enabled (275): 1 being enabled? You could check whether this option is enabled by using xinput list to obtain the id of your TrackPad and then executing xinput list-props ID with ID being replaced by the actual device id that you determined. Just a guess.

Hi Fabian,

I appreciate your help!

I am still facing the problem.

Tapping Drag doesn't seem to be enabled assuming that I have chosen the correct id.
