Michael steenbeek, I will have in a few days, I have one coming in the
post for the very purpose.

And just so you know, I am a recent migrator to linux, and I was one of those that just dived in...
I am still learning my way round it, and how to do more advaanaced tasks. And it is bugs and problems exactly like this one that I welcome for that reason, because doing it is exactly how I learn to do more.
And I dont much care if I nuke my system, I have it partition seperately to save all my data and setting etc so I can just re-install the parts I need to and BOOM computer back!

Waiting for an automatic update when I could be (a) getting it done sooner, and (b) learning something in the process....
just seems silly.
So maybe you have a right to judge what people should or should not do with their own machines if they want to, or maybe not.
Or maybe you just dont like sharing?

  [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.
