[Bug 1416601] Re: touchpad does not respond to tap-to-clicks in I2C mode in Ubuntu 15.04 on 2015 XPS 13 (9343)

 

Done with the git bisect.  It's somewhere in the late days of 3.17 and
early days of 3.18.  Here's the RHBZ with the patch:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1188439#c25

I'm hoping someone with more knowledge than me around this part of the
kernel can make sense of it.  If I pull the patch, the touchpad works
extremely well (see RHBZ entry for more).

Bug description:
  Tap-to-click does not work unless I tap several times really fast
  (which is really hard to do), which also causes the cursor to move.
  This is a poor user experience.

  Relatedly, sometimes when using two-finger scrolling, the touchpad
  will get stuck such that I can let go and the cursor won't move. I can
  continue using two fingers to try scrolling, which works, but I can't
  get the cursor to move. If I tap the cursor several times really fast,
  I can eventually get the cursor unstuck so it moves again. I suspect
  that this is related to the tap-to-click issue.
