Kivy: laptop touch pad - mouse cursor move

Question

My problem is simple and certainly isn't any news: I can manage my Kivy desktop app with a mouse pretty reasonably. Unfortunately, touch pad is a different story: a single finger move is interpreted as a swipe so there's no way to just move the mouse cursor where it's needed. Google isn't very cooperative; maybe I don't know the keywords?

The desktop is KDE on Linux.

Is there a way to make a Kivy desktop app respond to the touch pad the way ordinary desktop apps do?

Input management looks close, but low level. I'm sorry, I'm new to Kivy.

A solution: comment out probesysfs line in ~/.kivy/config.ini.

[input]
mouse = mouse
#%(name)s = probesysfs
