Scrolling is too sensitive. The only way to change sensitivity I've found (so I don't know if it's the only one at all (but then maybe there is a problem in design if it's hard to find the proper option)) is to manipulate Scrolling Distance in Scrolling tab, but it could be only worse in my case.
Currently I've vertical and horizontal distances at max values (which is 10.0mm). When I set a smaller distance then scrolling becomes even more sensitive. It's hard to scroll web page, because even slight movement scrolls too much of visible area.
I think is should be possible to set bigger scrolling Distance.
If I'm wrong, then sorry for misunderstanding. I've installed kcm-touchpad 0.9, and then upgraded to 0.99 but the problem is still there. Because I really like the new design I don't want to go back to my previous workarounds for setting touchpad.
I've got Lenovo G780 notebook.
