touchpad absolute / relative behaviour
Just upgrade a perfectly working Fedora 26 laptop to 27 and I am experiencing problems with the trackpad. As I touch the touchpad it moves the pointer to the absolute position on the screen. However the touchpad doesn't seem to extend to the edge of the screen. So naturally I released pressure on the touchpad and tried to scroll a bit more. This though puts the pointer back to the absolute position on the screen. I am sure it didn't work that way before.
I've gone through the xinput properties and tried to set as RELATIVE or ABSOLUTE but nothing changes. I also used have scrolling on the edges of the touchpad and double tap for double click. Any help on how to restore these settings would be really appreciated.
I also had trouble with the keyboard mapping, the settings reported UK but the ibus gui said otherwise. Changing it to UK in ibus made the keyboard work. I just don't understand why the keyboard is present in two places.
