My touchpad cursor moves very slow and stodgy, laggy hard to get accurate when moving slowly. It has been this way on every Ubuntu I have tried. No matter the touchpad speed. I can make it whiz around high speed but the same issue for slow, careful adjustments, over short distances it is not smooth at all. laggy, stodgy like its weighted with inertia affecting its movements. It becomes hard to select things so heavy does the movement become at close range.
Are there any fixes I can try for this?
Its a Thinkpad L390 16GB RAM. Linux 6.14.0-32-generic kernel
The issue is definitely variable. It is sometimes barely a nuisance, other times feels much worse.
hmm - this sounds like a generic issue - possibly kernel based, maybe libinput based. Hence why you see it on all ubuntu variants.
Suggest also ask this on the ‘all-ubuntu’ forums like discourse.ubuntu.com and askubuntu.com as well.
Its worth just writing the latest 25.10 ubuntu daily onto a USB and booting into a live session to see if things are better with the very latest kernel and software.
askubuntu I got told my question isnt a question, which made no sense as it was a question seeking help.
Then told it was similar to this other answer, that was 100% for a trackpoint and didnt seem to have a solution.
Discord ubuntu remembers an old email I havent used for years from a former account there, and wont let me sign up with any other!
