[Bug 1404332] Re: Touchpad cursor loses precision after VGA monitor plugged in

 

Dan Smith, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xorg 1404332

Please ensure you have xdiagnose installed, and that you click the Yes
button for attaching additional debugging information.

As well, given the information from the prior release is already
available, testing a release prior to the development one would not be
helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Touchpad cursor loses precision after VGA monitor plugged in

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I just plug in the VGA cable. The external monitor is detected acc.to dmesg. A USB mouse works OK.
  The problem lies somewhere with synaptic driver.
  If I simply put down a finger on the touchpad and hold it still, the cursor still fidgets in random directions by a couple millimeter increments.
