[Solved]Touchpad Elan1200, l.m button will be activated without click

Only to touch and move on the touchpad leads to an activation of the left mouse button, as drag and drop e.g. during use of Thunar.

Xubuntu 22.04

xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer                        id=2    [master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                  id=4    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ ELAN1200:00 04F3:309F Mouse                 id=10    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ ELAN1200:00 04F3:309F Touchpad              id=11    [slave  pointer  (2)]

Any idea to switch off this feature ?
Or does someone use the ELAN1200 without trouble, please post the output of :

synclient -l

Re: [Solved]Touchpad Elan1200, l.m button will be activated without click

Found the solution, load the libinput driver :

Renamed 70-synaptics.conf to 30-synaptics.conf.

ls -1 /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/
10-amdgpu.conf
10-quirks.conf
10-radeon.conf
30-synaptics.conf
40-libinput.conf
51-synaptics-quirks.conf
70-wacom.conf

It leads to a less priority of 30-synaptics.conf.and libinput driver will be loaded.

No further behaviour as described.

Re: [Solved]Touchpad Elan1200, l.m button will be activated without click

Some further issue now with libinput driver (reference Xorg.0.log) :

event8  - ELAN1200:00 04F3:309F Touchpad: kernel bug: Touch jump detected and discarded.
event8  - ELAN1200:00 04F3:309F Touchpad: WARNING: log rate limit exceeded (5 msgs per 24h). Discarding future messages.

But its not "visible" by me during work, I am going to ignore it.
