[Coco] CoCoPi - unusable sluggish trackpad on Raspberry Pi

[Allen Huffman]

I just got in an all-in-one AmazonBasics keyboard with a trackpad built in, hoping it would simplify trying to use MultiVue and such on CoCoPi.

I found the mouse was completely unusable (slow, sluggish, lagging) in GShell. I then booted into a stock NOOBS Pi and saw the same problem there, which was good - at least I know it’s not MAME.

I found some tips online that say you can edit:

/boot/cmdline.txt

and add

usbhid.mousepoll=0

…to the end, then save and reboot.

Now it works fine.

Does anyone know what the issue is? I have another wireless mini keyboard with a built in trackpad that I think works fine.

Placing this message here in case someone else needs the tip.
