Comment 71 for bug 1590590

Apparently 4.8.0-34-generic detects my Latitude E7470 touchpad/stick as ALPS instead of BYD (4.8.0-32-generic detects as BYD). I don't know which would be the correct one, but by default ALPS is way too sensitive and I have to apply those xprops changes before it is usable again (basically I can't click anything because no matter how much I want to hold my finger still, it just goes around in circles and the pointer is not on top of an icon long enough to click it).

There is also something weird about how the touchpad behaves (or maybe I noticed it now cause I use it more instead of the trackpoint?), is it supposed to scroll vertically when I move a single finger vertically on the right half of it? Basically I have to always move my finger horizontally first, otherwise it accidentally scrolls.

I think it would be useful to make the BYD/ALPS configurable. The BYD driver works a lot better by default, and I think I actually prefer it over the ALPS one :)
