Frustrating trackpad
#10
I too feel the frustration with the touchpad and have been diving into the whole linux input stack to figure out why it sucks. I've documented that process here.

TL;DR: It's a firmware issue and even the latest firmware updates don't appreciably fix the core issues. I think the only way we'll truly have a pleasant trackpad experience is by reverse engineering the firmware which I've been slowly attempting to do.
