Hi Pali,

Ok, and cannot you set ALPS_DUALPOINT flag based on that
alps_check_is_trackpoint() result and then update
alps_process_packet_ss4_v3() code to supports also
V8 trackpoint packets?
--> Yes, we can do like so, when we use the v8 method to process the trackpoint , the mouse speed is not ideal.
        Then we choose the standard mouse driver.
Mouse speed is something which is configurable. Have you configured it
somehow? Also there is libinput project should handle these settings
more properly.

Adding Peter Hutterer, maintainer of libinput to loop. I think he could
help with this problem.
libinput has a quirk for a magic multiplier on trackpoints. it was the only
solution I found that came close to "working" given that every device seems
to provide some other random magic data. Doc for it is here:
https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/trackpoint-configuration.html
Hello Peter Hutterer,

To adjust the trackpoint speed from userspace:

If the libinput version is lower than 1.9.0, we could set
POINTINGSTICK_CONST_ACCEL=0.25

If the libinput version is higher than 1.12.0, we could set
AttrTrackpointMultiplier=0.25

But if we use libinput-1.10.0,  how could we adjust the speed?
The LIBINPUT_ATTR_TRACKPOINT_RANGE property, which didn't end up working
well (hence why it got replaced again). See the docs here though:
https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/1.10.0/trackpoints.html

Cheers,
    Peter

OK, got it, Thanks.


There are also different speeds depending on which xorg driver you'd use (or
libinput/Wayland), so a "mouse speed is not ideal" is almost a guarantee,
given a large enough variety of setups :) That's why we have the speed
toggle, but I'm happy to hear any suggestions on how to make the trackpoint
more useful (in libinput anyway).

I do not think it is a good idea to force back to generic PS/2 mouse
driver for touchpads and trackpoints. Native drivers for touchpads and
trackpoints supports multitouch, absolute reporting and lot of other
things... Also calculation of mouse speed from absolute positions on
touchpads can be more easily fixed as from emulated relative movements.
Yeah, agree. Using PS/2 mouse drivers means you lose *all* the extra
features touchpads have like palm detection, tapping, scrolling, gestures,
etc.

Cheers,
     Peter

Dmitry, what is your opinion about this problem? What should psmouse.ko
do in this situation? Disallow usage of absolute mode and force bare
PS/2 relative mode?
