[Bug 422808] [NEW] mouse pad pointer jumps to side when I initiate movement

Binary package hint: yelp

I assume this is ubuntu 8.10 because it says URI "ghelp:about-eeebuntu"
is invalid. The mouse pad worked with xandros; so the hardware should be
ok. Whenever I initiate a cursor movement by putting my finger onto the
mousepad, the arrow jumps to the side. I can alleviate a lot of this
jumping by tapping the mouse pad first, and then sliding my finger. I
did not expect a jump away from the current location when I initiated
movement. This is a Asus Eee PC 701SD. If I slide my finger from left to
right across the pad; lift my finger and put it back to the left side
again, the arrow will instantly move to where I initiated the last
movement. It seems to be remembering where it started, not where it
ended.
