Framework Laptop 13 Linux

Which Linux distro are you using?
Fedora 44 KDE

Which kernel are you using?

7.2.10-200.fc44.x86_64 (64-bit)

Which BIOS version are you using?

Which Framework Laptop 13 model are you using? x7 358H 13 pro

So issue started probably last week but I’ve had this laptop for about a week. When using the haptic touchpad of the framework 13 pro sometimes it triggers a two finger touch (right click) instead of a one finger even when my palm is elevated and only my index is touching the darn thing.

- Is this a known issue?

- Can it be fixed on my part?

- Is it a hardware issue?

My friend also recently got his 13 pro and claims similar behavior when he thinks he is just fat fingering it, when really he isn’t.

Do you have a Mouse & Trackpad Settings screen in Fedora, and would you take a screenshot of it and post it here? Some distros have palm rejection settings - we might as well see all of your settings in one go.

Sure here you go!

OK, great stuff. If it was me, I’d try the live CD for a different distro, maybe Ubuntu. I think one could test it without an install i.e. just pop it onto a memory stick.

Just to add another data point, I’m running into the same issues with my 13 pro on Debian.
