Comment 188 for bug 1372609

Mathias-

Thanks for the quick work. Despite the issues noted below, this is a major improvement over psmouse.proto=bare, which was driving me insane with the accidental touch-clicks while typing. Thank you so much for your quick response!

This kernel does allow the touchpad to be recognized but still seems to have some issues:
1) Intermittently, the pointer stops responding to the current touch;
   a) I can usually (~70%) replicate the behavior by moving the pointer into contact with the left side of the screen. Once it touches that side, the current touch no longer changes the pointer position. Lifting that finger and re-touching the pad starts the pointer moving again.
   b) I also see this behavior when the pointer is not near the screen edges, but is unpredictable, and in 30 minutes of testing, I haven't found a consistent pattern for replicating the issue.

2) the two finger scrolling does not exclude the button areas; e.g. if I rest a finger on the primary button, I can no longer move the pointer, only scroll the screen. In other touchpads I've used, the button area was excluded from two-finger scrolling issues. This issue is less concerning than #1, but the experience is very unnatural.

Again, thanks for the fast response; I'm happy to run any other tests that you think might diagnose the issues.
