@lozdawney:
"I am sure we can all be productive and happy while our laptops/pc's freeze up while we are using them, or while using low performing and buggy drivers."

Personally I would rather have a laptop with an annoying problem that
can be worked around with a mouse (!) than rendering my entire system
unusable by wrongly applying a patch to such an important package.
Patching important system parts is not an easy task, and when you do it
yourself you should know what you're doing and know what to do when
things go wrong. I was simply trying to help, no need to get aggressive.

  [nvidia-prime]Freeze while using touchpad

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.
