[Bug 1233202] Re: [Dell XPS 13 L322X] Touchpad too slow to cross the screen horizontally

 

Hi Christopher
I reached to get time to flash to A10 Bios.
I still can't set speed or resolution (I don't know the underlying techno/language used for touchpad devices), but now, like with A09, the speed control is available in the Settings Center and I can't see it memorized/stored when I come back to Mouse/TouchPad settings the same way the other touchpad controls show they are stored, ie the check boxes keep the setting I do, but the "Cursor speed" always reverts to the central position. I thought of a relative drawing, but although I tried several times, I can't feel the speed change.
Also, maybe I miss something in the use of the "Test your settings" button: is there a way therein to validate the settings (some OK button?) and I'm not sure how to use the little girly and cartoon characters and objects.
Sorry if I seem puzzled.
As I tested with upstream kernel, should I remove the "needs-upstream-testing" tag?

The output you asked:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

  [Dell XPS 13 L322X] Touchpad too slow to cross the screen horizontally

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hi
  I can't get speed setting of the touchpad to be stored anything than precise half way  between slow and fast.
  Maybe this could help to move the cursor from far left to far right (and vice et versa) in a single finger movement.
  At this time I have to make a very violent movement that drives my finger out of the touchpad limit to reach this goal. An other way to cross the screen is to make several (3) normal movements, which is ... say borring.

  Raring 3.8.0-31-generic x86_64 running in A09 BIOS mode

  Thank you
