            Bug ID: 103219
           Summary: libinput jittery with psmouse.synaptics_intertouch = 1
           Product: Wayland
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: medium
         Component: libinput
          Assignee: wayland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

evemu log for scroll (poor sensitivity)

I looked at my dmesg output and saw this.

'psmouse serio1: synaptics: Your touchpad (PNP: DLL05eb PNP0f13) says it can
support a different bus. If i2c-hid and hid-rmi are not used, you might want to
try setting psmouse.synaptics_intertouch to 1 and report this to
linux-input at vger.kernel.org.'

When I set the kernel parameter and booted again, the touchpad was behaving
with the following issues :

- lower sensitivity
- accidental middle clicks (which paste whatever I previously selected)
- no acceleration

I looked at Xorg log and for both synaptics_intertouch = 0 or 1, libinput
driver was used.
