[SOLVED] Lenovo X220 Touchpad way too sensitive after updates
Hi,
I've just rebooted my X220 and now the Touchpad is crazy sensitive, especially when scrolling (completely unusable!). It seems that something has been updatet, but I haven't rebooted the machine in a week or so, so I can't exactly make out which package was updated and changed this behaviour. Does anyone else have this problem? I've tried rolling back the xf86-input-synaptics package, switching between evdev and libinput, nothing seems to work. What I did notice though is that when using Wayland instead of X (both with Gnome 3) it just feels like it was before, but the scrolling is "stepped" like a scroll wheel on a mouse instead of a fluid motion as before.
any help is appreciated!

Same for me after xorg-server update. Try to downgrade to previous version.

Re: [SOLVED] Lenovo X220 Touchpad way too sensitive after updates
It was indeed the xf86-input-synaptics package. Downgrading from 1.8.99.1-1 to 1.8.3-4 solved the problem entirely.
I also observed that the Fn-Key to disable the touchpad didn't work. The configuration in gnome-settings for the touchpad were also missing. Somethings really broken there.

You should really move from xf86-input-synaptics to xf86-input-libinput package. Synaptics is now on maintenance mode, no new feature will be added, just critical bug fixes.
