Not exactly. I can change settings via TDE, but the effect has changed: Previously I could disable acceleration for my touchpoint, nowadays that does not work any more. For a touchpoint the model is e.g.: dx_screen = dx_touchpoint * (a_driver + a_TDE) + dx_touchpoint ^ (b_driver + b_TDE) Now "a_driver" and "b_driver" have changed (bigger as before) and the accepted values for "a_TDE" and "b_TDE" have change to > 0. So that's a problem TDE won't be able to fix :( The negative acceleration value for libinput that I came up with is just a hotfix/hack, it does not restore old behaviour but is better than what I had without. Oh, and it only affects the touchpoint (have I written "touchpad" earlier? ooops....)
