Public bug reported:

On MSI GT60-20C with Ubuntu 14.10, the touchpad freezes the XServer when
combining LeftClick + Tap, or multifinger taps.

As a workaround, I was partly initializing the XServer by performing a
Ctrl+Alt+F1 then a Ctrl+Alt+F7. The touchpad continues to work after
this.

I tried to dig deeper into the problem, so when the XServer freezed
again, I continued to move the cursor to a known place, I performed
after my Ctrl+Alt+F1/F7 combination, and found the cursor in a different
place after freezing. This actually means that when the XServer freezes
it only stops rendering the place of the cursor.

I got an idea, and installed Gnome Pointing Devices; I changed the
settings of Vertical/Horizontal scrolling and the problem seemed to
disappear up till now.
