I suspect the cause for this is more the natural shape of your finger. as you press down, the contact surface increases, and the hotspot you get is somewhere in the middle. as you release, the contact surface changes and you get the jump. I can see this here and it's related to how hard you press before releasing. the harder, the bigger the jump. there isn't really anything you can tune in the settings for this particular behaviour. the hysteresis options will help a bit, but hinder some smaller movement. really what we need here is some pressure-based smoothening, to prevent cursor jumps if the pressure changes.

I now increased the pressure threshold. Just for the archives, I am using the following settings:

        Option "FingerHigh" "55"
        Option "FingerLow" "50"

This is high enough to stabilize the mouse position on the end of mouse movements significantly. The downside is that I am missing an occassional click here when I tap to lightly.


you need http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/12707/

Thanks, that's great. If this patch is added, will we still need to manually set a dead area on the buttons? Or is there a possibility to change the default config files so that if there are clickpad buttons, those are automatically marked as "dead area"?

Cheers,
Markus
