Right, that makes sense. I guess I'm just used to advanced config options in
Windows allowing me tweak them separately. Also, there is only a single slider
in the X11 version of Gnome, but I can get my touchpad working fantastic there.
What exactly is that slider doing that the libinput one isn't?
And a last little quirk is that if the slider is in fact a acceleration curve
adjustment option in Gnome-Control-Center, having it called "pointer speed"
seems a bit weird. For me speed=velocity as far as cursor adjustments are
concerned. You might not have any leverage over with the folks at the gnome
camp, but if it is in fact a universal slider for both
acceleration/velocity/whatever else, maybe calling it "pointer response" could
be a little less counter intuitive. If you agree, perhaps you could ask one of
them to change that lol.</pre>
