which ones of those did you actually configure though? just because libinput
doesn't have an option doesn't mean it doesn't exist, e.g. the noise
cancellation in libinput is basically the same as synaptics. as for the actual
speed, it's a bit hard to figure out what synaptics does...

the current profile is the 'adaptive' profile, same as the mouse profile.
You can quite easily hack the source to use the flat profile instead but tbh
I doubt that's the behaviour you want either.

the question is *why* this happens, since the acceleration itself should be
the same on any device, regardless of the resolution. So far I only found a
possible issue with the sampling rate but yours is within the same range as
my touchpad here, so shouldn't be affected by that. Any help in identifying
why your touchpad appears to accelerate when it shouldn't would be
appreciated.
