Touchpad Pointer Movement Has Too Much Motion


My touchpad pointer movement has too much motion, it looks like it's getting an extra glide when I move the pointer, and it's very annoying. Does anyone know the option to fix that with synclient?

Here is my current synclient:
Code:
Parameter settings:
    LeftEdge                = 1766
    RightEdge               = 4900

That's not it, I tried with high and low settings, it still drags a bit.

I misunderstood what you meant. It's Coasting Speed. Set it to 0.

PS: Also try increasing Coasting Friction.

Thank you that worked. I set CoastingSpeed, CornerCoasting, and CoastingFriction to 0. It's working now
