But maybe one could introduce: + either a threshold value for the trackpoint movement below which the touchpad is not disabled; + or disable the touchpad for cursor movement only, but not for multi-finger gestures? (Note: sometimes the trackpoint has very large momentum, noticably moving over the screen by itself. This happens quite rarely and recalibration happens rather quickly in this case. Much more frequent are micromovements which tend to be fixed slower by the firmware.) My usecase is the following: I mainly use the trackpoint to move the cursor, but at times I use two-finger gestures to scroll on websites or documents with large amounts of text (button 2 + trackpoint requires an unnatural way of holding your hand and is quite exhausting). The recalibration of the trackpoint movement sometimes takes 20, 30 seconds, during which the touchpad is not usable in any way.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
