I have opened the mouse & touchpad control panel and moved the touchpad speed to "fast" but it's still very slow. Moving that back and forth makes no difference in speed, it's still ignored. How do I set the cursor speed to be faster? Is there a configuration file I can update?
Ubuntu 14.10 Linux 3.17 Acer C720 Chromebook
Running in chroot (Chrubuntu, booted into via ctrl+L)
I was only able to fix this by changing to using the ChromeOS touchpad driver instead of synaptic:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hugegreenbug/cmt
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install -y libevdevc libgestures xf86-input-cmt
$ sudo mv /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf.old
$ sudo cp /usr/share/xf86-input-cmt/50-touchpad-cmt-peppy.conf /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/
$ sudo reboot
