Few days ago a received an information, that I'm not able to find now,
that the problem could be caused by the AC adapter in use with certain
laptops and it was suggested to try working only with internal battery
(AC adapter disconnected).

I did several tests and I verified that for my Acer Aspire 8530  it's
true! In other words, if I encounter touch-pad crazy problems, I
disconnect the AC adapter and the touch-pad works fine.

It could be interesting if other laptop users do similar tests.

I add also the information that, after a recent automatic update of my
Ubuntu 10.10, I am facing problems with the wifi connection and that
such problems seem to disappear if I disconnect the AC adapter.

Have a good day :)

  Disable Touchpad while typing doesn't work consistently - hardware-

Bug description:
  On Laptops with Touchpads, the touchpad often accidentally generates events when
  the keyboard is used. Blocking the touchpad for a couple of ms after each keypress solves this problem.

  This can be extremely easily implemented by calling syndaemon upon
  login and adding "SHMConfig on" to the X11 configuration. I think this
  is something that should be done by the installer in the default
  configuration as well.
