For example: try moving the mouse in a small circle (perhaps the size of the &amp;quot;Y&amp;quot; logo above). So both times I ended up switching to the old synaptics driver which seems to work better. I hope this project helps fix that so I&amp;#x27;m sponsoring it</text></comment>

Something like this may have been solved a long time ago.&lt;p&gt;Glad to see movement about this. Was just considering converting my XPS 9560 into a full Linux machine next week (I will miss fingerprint sensor support, which brings up another point about just upgrading to a model that supports it). Going to use it as a testing ground for switching over my main rig to Linux and seeing progress like this  is really encouraging that I’m making the right decision.&lt;p&gt;I will gladly install these test packages and help out.</text></comment>
