[Bug 1220426] Re: [nvidia-prime]Freeze while using touchpad
Geforce GTX 680M
Ubuntu 14.10 x86_64
nvidia-prime 0.6.7
nvidia-343 343.22-0ubuntu1~xedgers14.10.1
xserver-xorg 1:7.7+7ubuntu2
$ sudo prime-select query
nvidia
Screen froze when fans could be heard spinning down shortly after login.
Seems like the gpu went to sleep, though I WAS using the touchpad at the time.
switching to tty-1 and back to tty-7 cleared it up.
Haven't experienced any more problems since, during this session.

Bug description:
I'm using an Optimus laptop (Asus N43SL)
nvidia-prime is installed, so my nvidia dedicated graphics card (GT 540m) is in use.
Once in a while, my screen will freeze, only when I use my touchpad.
This does not happen with my USB mouse.
This does not happen either when I uninstall nvidia-prime and use my intel integrated graphics (HD3000).
I can temporarily solve the issue by doing a VT switch.
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.
