I think the quantity of acceleration complaints reveals a genuine need. You said the following in <a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_REOPENED " title="REOPENED - libinput touchpad acceleration tracker bug" href="show_bug.cgi?id=98535">https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98535</a>: "Reopening, because we still get complaints" Again, it seems unlikely to me that a single default value will ever be sufficient to meet the needs of the *NIX community, which is diverse in both attitudes and hardware. Apple gets away with it not only because their default value truly is "good enough", but also because they have total control over the touchpad hardware and can ensure that their default value behaves as expected 100% of the time. We don't have that luxury.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
