[Bug 234466] Re: [hardy] Pen crazy in tablet PC

 

I'm glad I found this problem report, but not really, because this
happening to me too.

I just installed Ubuntu KarmicKoala (9.10) on my x41, and aside from a
dozen apps, or so, mine is a pretty-vanilla installation.

My behavior is just like others have described: crazy jumpiness; random
mouseclicks.

One thing I've noticed is the pen likes to jump to the edges of the
screen, and seemingly, usually to the left and top edges (something to
do with stray zeroes being read for some reason?)

So, when I have a drawing program like xournal open and the problem
manifests, I get this interesting series of "rays" or radial spokes
emanating from the left edge. When I try to draw a curve, the rays keep
jumping back and forth between ray and curve, ray and curve. It's kind
of beautiful, but also maddening.

None of the ttyS0 commands seemed to do anything for me. I tried the
suspend/wake trick just now, and it worked. Let's see how long this
stays healthy!
