[SOLVED]Touchpad completely messed up, smooth scrolls everywhere, and isn't blocked when using keyboard

Hi, I use linux mint and recently installed a bunch of desktop environments, and I think that it might have caused this issue. How do I fix this? I want to avoid resetting, but if there isn’t a solution, I can. This does not occur in another distro, or another kernel, but occurs in other desktop environments. Solution:

Cool!

You could try running syndaemon manually in your session, if that works you may need to reconfigure syndaemon somehow.

linux.die.net/man/1/syndaemon

How exactly is it messed up? what is the touch pad device called? (Laptop model, USB vendor id, whatever you’ve got) what environments are you using? Are you using X or Wayland?

ExplodeyWolf OP ,

I’m using X awesome wm and cinnamon. The touchpad isn’t disabled when I’m typing. I use a Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15iil05, and this is a recent issue.

Thank you! I think I’ll end up restarting sometime in the future, but for now this is amazing!

In KDE, there is a touchpad section inside KDE settings. U should be able to reconfigure it from there.

ExplodeyWolf OP ,

I’m in cinnamon, and this happens in awesomewm as well

If its a fairly universal setting then changing it in kde should change it for everything

ExplodeyWolf OP ,

I use cinnamon, but this setting is on

ExplodeyWolf OP ,

I think it might somehow be something I installed

… who knows
