Exactly, and the roll back even only in the sense of just booting the
previous one (I do not even reinstall packages or so).

I've tested 6.1.12 in the meantime, ... still has the problem.
In fact it seems as if any changes I make with the synclient tool to
the relevant settings e.g.:
$ synclient MinSpeed=0.5 MaxSpeed=1.5 AccelFactor=0.5
have no longer any effect at all.
Even if I set extreme values, nothing seems to change.
I've also taken the src:linux package (as of 6.1.12) recompiled it just
with:
6816478c0db15ad0dbe7f9b6ffaff9ad6db5e74d
reverted.
That seemed the most promising one, despite me NOT having an HP
notebook (which that commit is allegedly about, but rather a Fujitsu).
But no change with that.
If you want me to test 6.1.8/12 upstream... is it enough to simply take
the Debian source packages and unapply any Debian patches?
I'm always quite reluctant of taking any code which I cannot properly
verify myself (and I don't trust github or https enough ;-) )
Thanks,
Chris.
