No arguing or instigating from me, just thanking, because perhaps this
patch is working. The only part not explained is that you don't need to
apply the resultant .deb files which aren't part of the current Xorg
install. In my case, 14.04LTS, only needed " sudo dpkg -i ./xserver-
common_1.15.1-0ubuntu2.3_all.deb ./xserver-xorg-
core_1.15.1-0ubuntu2.3_amd64.deb "

after doing:

xorg-server (2:1.15.1-0ubuntu2.3) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium

  * Patched per Balazs Scheidler (bazsi) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1220426
    - Layman terms (on trusty): Download patch from the bugzilla and place
	it in a file, let's say "foo.diff"
    - $ apt-get build-dep xorg-server
    - $ apt-get source xorg-server
    - $ cd xorg-server-1.15.1
    - $ patch -p1 < ../foo.diff
    - $ fakeroot debian/rules binary
    - This should eventually build a couple of .deb packages with the
	patch incorporated. It is running for me just now. So no news if
	it worked or not.
    - Also, it might make sense to modify debian/changelog and add your
	own version to make it possible to see the change by judging the
	version number. (e.g. debchange -i, edit and save)

Title:
  [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.
