[Bug 1220426] Re: [nvidia-prime]Freeze while using touchpad

 

no reason to close this for trusty as noone has done the work to
backport the commit there..

this is fixed in 15.04 and up, and will be included in the lts-vivid
backport stack which is used by default in 14.04.3 installer images

** Changed in: xorg-server (Ubuntu Trusty)
       Status: Fix Released => Triaged

Bug description:
  Using Asus N43SL laptop as an example, with nvidia-prime installed, so
  the dedicated NVIDIA graphics card (GT 540m) is in use, once in a
  while, my screen will freeze when I use my touchpad.

  WORKAROUND: Use USB mouse.

  WORKAROUND: Uninstall nvidia-prime and use integrated graphics.

  WORKAROUND: Do a VT switch via Ctrl+Alt+F1 then Ctrl+Alt+F7.

  In the attached Xorg.0.log, you can see "synaptics: ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad: touchpad found" each time I did a VT switch and regained control:
