Recently my touchpad has gotten to be way too sow on Linux. I use Fedora with a Dell Inspiron 15R. It was working fine for months, but recently is unbearably slow regardless of my speed settings. I used to make it across the screen with a quick drag but now it seems like there is a 1:1 ratio between distance traveled on touchpad and how my cursor moves.

Does anyone know what could solve this? EDIT

I would just like to say that this question is solved. If anyone else is having similar problems, the following command seems to have fixed it after a restart. sudo yum --enablerepo updates-testing update xorg-*

  • Did you check touchpad pointer speed settings?

  • Yes, I did. It appears to be part of a recent update that is causing this, but I don't know how to tell which one or how to remove it. There were bug reports just yesterday about similar problems by others.

Just to expand your answer, here's the bug report, and there's also another workaround that doesn't involve enabling repos:

yum downgrade xorg-x11-server-Xorg xorg-x11-server-common

And just wait until xorg-x11-server-1.14.4-11 is pushed to the stable repos.
