How does the Palm-Detection work?
To test this, you can do the following: Place your palm where the X-es are, then try to scroll with two fingers or move your mouse. I don't like that the mouse does not react anymore if the palm is placed there - it should just be ignored.

- Retr0id 1y agoI performed your test and mouse movement and two-finger scrolling still works if my palm is there. Even 3-finger window switching gestures. My palm is effectively ignored.
- sandreas 1y agoSo this would mean that either my configuration is bad or it might be a hardware limitation. So if you don't mind I would love to see your gsettings list-recursively | grep 'peripherals\.touchpad' Here is mine (before you ask, disable-while-typing=false does not fix my problem) : org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad accel-profile 'default' org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad click-method 'fingers' org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad disable-while-typing true org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad edge-scrolling-enabled false org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad left-handed 'mouse' org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad middle-click-emulation false org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad natural-scroll true org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad send-events 'enabled' org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad speed -0.044999999999999998 org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad tap-and-drag true org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad tap-and-drag-lock false org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad tap-button-map 'default' org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad tap-to-click true org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad two-finger-scrolling-enabled true

- sandreas 1y ago> I have a feeling the magic here is happening in apple firmware, rather than driver or software. Either the disable-while-typing false (which is the only difference besides speed) or as you said the firmware / hardware. Thank you very much.

- philjohn 1y agoOK, now move your palm over half, and then over 3 quarters of the trackpad. Two fingers to scroll still works.
- ToDougie 1y agoMy Dell Precision laptop running Win11 handles this perfectly. Wish I had tried this sooner :P
