Option "AccelProfile" "flat"  
Option "AccelSpeed" "0.10"

Excellent! So you can just set a touchpad speed, then add the "flat" option to 41-libinput.conf?

That is how I did it but I then rooted around in the Archwiki entry pertaining to libinput and touchpad acceleration control and did some careful tests on my pad. In libinput world, pads that support "AccelProfile" should just force a speed of 0.0 for "flat" while "adaptive" just uses a different touchpad to screen mapping to get the speed. Not true acceleration as we were used to in the synaptics driver at all but more just a different overall mapping factor. So after a second look the AccelProfile seems redundant. As I see it right now, speed does all that the libinput driver is capable of. Leave 1.9.2 as is. With the supported props listed and the view capability it is very simple and fast to add a supported option not in the GUI list. Learning as I go coming from synapticsworld.

Thanks. I set up a mouse with the "flat" profile and I really couldn't see any difference.

It actually listed Acceleration Profiles in its properties.

Many thanks @rcrsn51

Do you think it should be renamed? It has much wider applicability than just touchpad and as you say is libinput specific.

The screen rotation facilities are potentially dangerous as they can lead to formats that cannot be reversed out of. Perhaps they should have a confirmatory "Are you sure you want to do this" dialog before activating the change?

Attached is a mod to make the SCT frame dependent on the availability of sct in the build for your consideration.

Cheers

Kernel Release: 5.3.8-lxpup64 swapped into LxPupSc 19.09 +5 on the usual i5 based Fujitsu S761. Clean boot and run, suspend and resume fine, All the usual system and Dmesg checks are good. Mem and SSD throughput continue to be excellent, as do idle resource use and video FPS. Early microcode working and mitigation unchanged from 5.3.7.
Have been using it for a day or so now, no CD/DVD or netflix but lots of youtube and the usual sylpheed email and some images run through mtpaint. Just normal daily stuff but it seems solid. Touchpad set up pretty much as I like it under libinput, only the acceleration behavior isn't quite what the synaptics driver had but I know that is one thing that the libinput developer continues to work on.

Thanks,

Kernel Release: 5.3.9-lxpup64 plugged into LxPupSc 19.09 +5 running as a frugal Grub4Dos install on the i5 based workhorse Fujitsu S761 laptop. All the usual tests run, see 2 posts up, with no problems or major changes seen. Suspends and resumes correctly, touchpad mappings ok, I continue to run Slimjet 24.0.5.0 run-as-spot from SFS as my browser with no issues. Just normal use for a day now. Seems fine from here.

I also plugged that kernel into LxPupSc64 19.06 +3 and have no problems with it there either. Rolled a 64b Slimjet 24.0.5.0 run-as-spot SFS for the 64b LxPupSc and that is fine also. No crashes in a short run. For now, the 64b LxPupSc still has the synaptics-libevent driver transition problems with button mapping after suspend so I am not using it much other than to check kernels in it.

Cheers,

5.3.10-lxpup64 kernel swapped into the 19.09 +6 installs on the Fujitsu laptop. Both LxPupSc and LxPupSc64 done. No issues at all doing my usual checks in either. I'm using LxPupSc64 with it as my daily for a bit now.

Kernel Release: 5.3.12-lxpup64 swapped into my LxPupSc and LxPupSc64 19.09 +6 installs. System, installs, and tests exactly as in my previous kernel tests above. Tests all look good, no issues in a days use. Early loading of microcode continues to work properly. I updated the microcode file with the latest available but the code for the Sandy Bridge (2nd gen I5) wasn't updated therein so mitigation remains unchanged.

Thanks,

peebee my laptop do not populate "/proc/acpi/battery/". So most Battery Tray fail. But the powerapplet_tray in your Bionic-18.05+4 do work but I am looking a 64 bit. Can you tell me where I can get the source of that app you did used. As Always Thanks in advance.

1rst thank you. 90% of the stuff I had accomplished in this forum is because your help. I know, my apology I like to follow rules. But knowing this is where you spent most of the time, well I thought I could squeeze a question. As respect to you. it will not happen again. Keep the good work.
