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 :-) > It has a kind of strange behavior though, might be a feature:-) - > if I move the cursor and let go of the touchpad without first stopping > the motion, the cursor continues to move on its own... 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. -- CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info
