+What:		/sys/devices/platform/i8042/.../drift_time
+Date:		Dec, 2014
+KernelVersion:	3.19
+Contact:	linux-input@vger.kernel.org
+Description:
+		(RW) This parameter controls the period of time to test for a
+		‘hands off’ condition (i.e. when no force is applied) before a
+		drift (noise) calibration occurs.
+
+		IBM Trackpoints have a feature to compensate for drift by
+		recalibrating themselves periodically. By default, if for 0.5
+		seconds there is no change in position, it's used as the new
+		zero. This duration is too low. Often, the calibration happens
+		when the trackpoint is in fact being used.
