Subject: Acer laptop, SYN1B7F Synaptics touchpad gets wild sometimes
Date: Wed, 26 May 2021 19:01:28 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87mtshfmzb.fsf@autistici.org> (raw)
Hello,
on Acer laptop, my SYN1B7F Synaptics touchpad quite often starts acting
wild, moving and clicking and scrolling on its own. It uses HID over I2C
interface. The kernel is 4.19.0 on Debian.
This is an example of the evtest output in those moments, while I didn't
touch the pad at all:

I also noted that lots of those lonely MSC_TIMESTAMPs get emitted when
the touchpad works fine too. Is this expected behavior?
I would appreciate any pointer or feedback to help me work on it.
