I'm  not sure if this is the same problem, related, or completely
different.  I posted it as a query on kubuntu forums, and hviertol
directed me here.  Here is the information:

Scrollbar erratic 9.10
Kubuntu 9.10 on Dell D600 laptop fresh install from DVD

I have been using Kubuntu on this machine since 8.04. I did a fresh
install on a clean disk from a DVD I downloaded. I applied all of the
updates available.

In several (maybe all?) applications, Firefox, KPackagaKit, Konqueror,
when I scroll by using the mouse on the right scrollbar, it works fine
for a couple of clicks, then the takes off and uncontrollably scrolls to
the end of the page (or top, depending on which direction I was going.)

When I put the old hard disk with 9.04 in, it goes back to normal.

I searched here, but did not find any hits.

Thanks for your help.

 Re: scrollbar erratic 9.10
Do you have a Synaptics touchpad?

 Re: scrollbar erratic 9.10
I suspect it might be a Synaptics touchpad. I don't remember it being a Synaptics touchpad, but it could be. The BIOS setup does not mention.

I checked using the old disk with 9.04, and it had a Synaptics driver
installed (0.99.7 I think).

The new disk with 9.10 has xserver-xorg-input-synaptics-1.1.2.1ubuntu-7
already installed.

Guessing where your lead might go, I tried installing the gsynaptics tool, however, it does not seem to have made much, if any difference.

One additional note that differentiates it somewhat from previous
comments in this bug:  it happens both when I use the touchpad, as well
as the "trackpoint" mouse (Dell's version, not IBM).

Thanks in advance for any help
