Do you see in your Mouse and Trackpad settings an option for "Content sticks to fingers"? If so, that will reverse your scroll direction.

Hi tophneal.

I'm running the default DebIan 9.9, with all updates applied, and I updated the trackpad/keyboard firmwares as well.  However, when I adjust the settings under "Pointer speed" for acceleration or sensitivity, or adjust the drag and drop threshold, there is no change in pointer responsiveness.  Does this suggest that my firmware upgrades didn't take?

I asked Luke in a separate thread if there is any way to verify that the correct firmwares are installed (by getting a version number report or something) but didn't see any reply.  Do you have any idea how to check firmware versions?

Thanks!

Bill

Hi y'all,

I have noticed in my case, that only an adjustment of the "acceleration" changes my pointer speed, while the sensitivity setting does "nothing". So, maybe tweak the acceleration slider and check whether that works. If it doesn't work, I'll try to figure out another solution.
