[Bug 12124] Re: touchpads occasionally gone wild

 

Mary Gardiner, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an
issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development
release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xorg 12124

Please ensure you have xdiagnose installed, and that you click the Yes
button for attaching additional debugging information.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  touchpads occasionally gone wild

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When I first login to X and touch my laptop's touch pad, the cursor response is
  extremely fast and somewhat random. After approximately a second of movement,
  the response returns to normal and my cursor does not speed around my screen,
  nor does it randomly open things on my dekstop.

  A single touch on the touchpad after logging into my Ubuntu system has on
  various occasions done the following: opened the calendar application, opened
  the trash window multiple times, and resized and moved my panel. This is clearly
  undesirable, I would prefer that my system have the mouse not "go crazy" at any
  time.

  This is 100% reproducible on my system on both warty and hoary.
