[Bug 1437867] Re: xorg synaptic driver errors

 

I updated the BIOS:

gondor:/etc# dmidecode -s bios-version &&  dmidecode -s bios-release-date
V1.14
01/08/2015

Unfortunately it has no influence on the touchpad behaviour. The errors
showing up are still like the ones logged in
XorgLog.txt/xserver.errors.txt


** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu)

Title:
  xorg synaptic driver errors

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  My touchpad is behaving strangely (As far as I remember it only appeared after some update in Utopic).
  Using a two or three finger click, it needs several tries till it actually "accepts" the click. Sometimes the mouse pointer jumps to a different location on the screen when clicking with two or the fingers.
  Whenever the touchpad is used, errors get logged in /var/log/Xorg.0.log which seem to be related to the synaptic driver.

  Approximately once every week my X server crashes with a segmentation
  fault.  First the screen turns black and after ~30 seconds the login
  screen appears. In this case the Xorg.0.log ends like this:

  I'm not sure if this a different bug or related to synaptic...
