This is clearly something that is very missing in the Handbook / WIKI
/ synaptics manpages!

I always gave FreeBSD as an example of perfectly documented project.

Does not seem applicable anymore. Documentation is out of sync and
"works for me" solutions are so Linux :-(

On the other hand IICHID was released 9 days ago - and finally brings
standard to USB and I2C HID layer on FreeBSD serving as input for
evdev and libinput - THANK YOU WULF7 :-)

This is a feature not a bug ;-) However, there should be a decay in
the scroll speed when you let go scrolling ;-)

You may want to try sysctl, xmodmap, xinput, or gsettings to change /
tune Touchpad parameters.
