[Bug 194489] Re: ps2 synaptics touchpad causing huge amounts of wakeups

[Kwinz]

Thank you for this clarification.

I am not familiar with the synaptics driver source code or device specs, but I know that at least with usb mice there is a mouse polling interval. Most so called gaming mice come with a high polling frequency with 500Hz, while laptop mice usually have a much lower frequency by default. However I remember you can override the polling frequency manually at least in Windows. I doubt that anybody needs such a huge interrupt frequency on a laptop touchpad. Is there now way to adjust the polling interval in the driver?
If it can't be done in software is it perhaps feasible to contact the laptop manufacturer for an updated BIOS? (Lenovo in my case) Or is it really hardwired in the device itself.
