[Bug 1456881] Re: Some touchpads' right button doesn't work under I2C mode, need support of clickpads

 

We found under some extreme system usage that comment #2 can fix the
problem.

Run some application/operation (e.g: Play youtube on background, launch
libreoffice for awhile (about 5-10min) or insert USB to copy some files
: The touchpad cursor were no function after some operation, sometime it
scrolling automatically or keep send press signal.

Without the patch of comment #2, when the issue occurred we also check
the touchpad event on ttyl1 by "evtest", we can found the event keeping
output without move cursor/click touchpad.

Our observation is the HiDPI platform may have more loading cause this
issue and sometimes its also cause xorg crash.
