All due respect to the "countless" developers that took 14 months to fix
a critical bug affecting god knows how many Ubuntu releases but their
job doesn't end with writing a patch. The patch needs to be made
available to the majority of users which do not have the tech skills to
apply it - either by means of a temp PPA or by means of writing PROPER
instructions for compiling, upgrading and most importantly DOWNGRADING
if their patch goes ka-boom. I see this very rarely happening on
Launchpad so yes - people have the right to ask here what to do with
this piece of code.

My 2 cents

  [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.
