I have a Dell Inspiron 15-3531 using Ubuntu 16.04 for a couple months and when I use the touch pad it just turns crazy the most of time, it shiver and moves to other places, since I mostly use a mouse never got annoyed but now I would want to fix it. I had a windows partition and I removed it, but when I did it some troubles happened and i had to install ubuntu more than three times...maybe that's the deal.
I would be really grateful if somebody help me, thanks.
This is the output of the properties from my touchpad, I've been changing the "Synaptics finger" field to adjust sensitivity but still shaking, at least it does not fly to my right down corner as it used to. But now it take as secondary when I scroll a lot of times, I need to know what does the numbers in "Synaptics finger" means, only know that when it increases the force needed to use the touchpad have to increase too.
