[Bug 1393412] Re: Touchpad freezes XServer when using NVidia driver
** Description changed:
- On MSI GT60-20C with Ubuntu 14.10, the touchpad freezes the XServer when
- combining LeftClick + Tap, or multifinger taps, or any kind of touchpad
- use.
+ On my MSI GT60-20C, using Ubuntu 14.10 repository NVIDIA driver nvidia-331, the touchpad freezes the XServer when combining LeftClick + Tap, or multifinger taps, or any kind of touchpad use. The following upstream report has a patch that addresses this issue:
+ https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86288
- 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
- occur less up till now.
-
- EDIT #1: It happened again, I was watching a video, the video continued
- to play but the compositor stopped rendering the screen. I am running
- the proprietary NVidia binary driver on my OS (NVidia GK106M GeForce GTX
- 770M version 331.104 from nvidia-331)
-
- EDIT #2: This issue has been largely noticed. Here are some links about related topics:
- - https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/766166/linux/elantech-touchpad-related-nvidia-driver-freeze/
- - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-prime/+bug/1220426
- - https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+question/176273
-
- EDIT #3: @Raja I've tested the binary drivers since 331.10 and all
- caused the same bug.
+ WORKAROUND: Click Ctrl+Alt+F1 then Ctrl+Alt+F7.
