I was having the same problem as you WRT: "The mouse cursor wanders around a lot, esp. when a finger is resting on it, making precise pointing infuriating."
I'm using the same hardware and kernel module. $ uname -a Linux CN212851 3.2.0-3-amd64 #1 SMP Thu Jun 28 09:07:26 UTC 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ lsusb |grep -i synapt Bus 003 Device 004: ID 06cb:0009 Synaptics, Inc. Composite TouchPad and TrackPoint $ lsmod |grep synaptic synaptics_usb 12912 0 usbcore 128498 5 ehci_hcd,ohci_hcd,usbhid,synaptics_usb After configuring the trackpoint device's acceleration and deceleration, I am no longer infuriated. Try this in a terminal: $ xinput list |grep -i trackpoint ⎜ ↳ Synaptics Inc. Composite TouchPad / TrackPoint id=10 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ Synaptics Inc. Composite TouchPad / TrackPoint (Stick) id=11 [slave pointer (2)] (Stick) is id=11 xinput --set-prop 11 'Device Accel Constant Deceleration' 3 xset m 5 1 Reference: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mouse_acceleration If this helps you (and others) too, perhaps the module dev(s) could make these the default settings for trackpoint devices. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
