Hi,
I noticed a couple of days ago that the vertical speed of the cursor is higher than the horizontal. I have HP Pavilion g6. I don't have two monitors.
I tried to create a file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad catchall"
Driver "synaptics"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Option "VertResolution" "75"
Option "HorizResolution" "75"
EndSectionbut it did not help. I tried to remove xf86-input-synaptics. However, it also did not help. What else can I try?

I too have a Pavilion g6 and the same issue is happening with me. I thought it happened after a pacman -Syu update so I downgraded libinput but it didn't helped.

Pavilion G6 owner here. Same problem. Mouse is working properly but the vertical sensitivity of the touchpad doesn't match the horizontal one; in that it is higher.

I also own a HP Pavilion g6. I just did a fresh install of Arch linux on it (had windows on it before). I also have the same problem. I am using gnome as desktop environment.
I tried to set the Coordinate Transformation Matrix in xinput to make the horizontal speed faster to make it match the vertical speed.
xinput set-prop 2 121 5 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1with 2 being the device id and 121 the prop id of the Coordinate Transformation Matrix.
Changing those settings didn't have any effect. I guess xinput doesn't have any effect since Gnome runs on Wayland by default and xinput is only for Xorg? I read in the archlinux wiki that the newer tool for changing input device parameters is libinput, but i haven't seen a similar setting in that one.
I'll try some more things and am glad for any input.

I tried to set the Coordinate Transformation Matrix in xinput to make the horizontal speed faster to make it match the vertical speed.
Thank you very much! It works. I did the following:
$ xinput set-prop 10 148 1 0 0 0 0.443181 0 0 0 1I'm not sure that 0.443181 is the right value, but vertical speed decreased.
To save these changes, I did the following:
$ sudo cp /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-synaptics.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-synaptics.confThen I added the option TransformationMatrix:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad catchall"
Driver "synaptics"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
# This option is recommend on all Linux systems using evdev, but cannot be
# enabled by default. See the following link for details:
# http://who-t.blogspot.com/2010/11/how-to-ignore-configuration-errors.html
# MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Option "TransformationMatrix" "1 0 0 0 0.443181 0 0 0 1"

I had the same problem on my Pavilion G6 1131sr. Your suggestion is working for me without any problems; my touchpad is working well, without any highly accelerated vertical input. Thank you very much!

This is with default libinput drivers and, because I have an external keyboard/mouse, I placed the settings in $HOME/.profile. It's ridiculous that the vertical speed has to be set to %15.
