evemu recording of drawing circles with a thumb on the pad with clickfinger,
showing decreased resolution
Hardware: HP Spectre x360 with a Synaptics clickpad
Software: Fedora 25 + GNOME 3.22 + libinput built from git master as of today
My touchpad's apparent resolution seems to be reduced when a thumb is rested on
the touchpad. When I draw small circles on the pad with only my pointer finger,
the refresh rate appears high, and the pointer seems to be moving at like 60
hz, or as fast as the screen can re-draw it. When I do the same with a thumb on
the bottom of the pad, the apparent refresh rate slows down to something
looking more like 20 hz.
This is extremely noticeable with the "clickfinger" behavior. Less so with
"areas', but still observable if you're looking for it.
If this is dependent on RMI4 in Kernel 4.10, I have that on my machine and 4.10
is just around the corner, with 4.10-rc2 already out in the wild.</pre>
