Hi,

when reading the dev documentation for GtkScrolledWindow, i stumbled upon
the limitation of kinetic scrolling for touchscreen devices. However, i
could not find the actual reason for the limitation. Can anyone help me out
here?

The background of my question is that i wanted to get rid of synaptics
touchpad driver, and move on towards libinput. I`m really missing the
kinetic scrolling. Long documents and websites are a pain without it. I
totally agreed with Peter Hutterer from libinput, when he says that this
does not belong into the input driver, but more into the compositor /
client.

And with my XPS 13 (9370), kinetic scrolling works like a charm via the
touchscreen, but not via the touchpad. And thus i tried to search for the
reason and hope to get help here.

Thanks

Roman
