Bug Description

After last update of kernel file (linux-headers-* and so on) my touchpad started work totally bad. Pointer eventually jumps all over the screen, freezes, "clicks" while i am moving finger on touchpad.
I see this crazy bug for a first time - never seen anything like this, and it makes me mad. I can not work on my laptop, can not do anything in DE by mouse pointer. Only keyboard.

If anyone knows how to remove these updates i would really appreciate it because i need to work on my laptop.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Peace,
Alex.

The same in my HP Mini 210 with N450 Processor.
Quite annoying and no workaround found.
While working on it a found out that the synaptics driver was somehow involved "no synaptics driver ..."
But when I checked it it looked as if it was installed.

Seems nobody interested in these bugs.

Probably ppl just do not care about some things that are very important sometimes.
Still my problem wasn't solved and my web-cam (another bug) doesn't work at all.

I had to switch back to Windows since i was unable to do work on my laptop. But every day i am checking updates - nothing new. No solutions, no news about issue. NO-THING.

dear AlexKey: I agree with you on the lack of support in some hardware specific bugs, but good news: the kernel that ships with 10.10 solved this problem on my laptop. you should give a try to the latest kernel version, maybe it will work for you.

last time I wrote: "the kernel that ships with 10.10 solved this problem on my laptop." it seemed so for a while, but now my touchpad is doing this crazy thing again... :-( I'm not sure if there was a kernel upgrade, beacause I use a mouse and touchpad is switched off. But on Ubuntu 10.10 with 2.6.35-22-generic this bug is still a problem for me. (Acer Aspire 5710 laptop)

could anyone of the bug-readers say us what to expect about this bug?

I've found a solution (Aspire 5710, Ubuntu 11.04, trackpad jumps all over the screen, Windows is fine).
I needed to add the following to my kernel parameters:
i8042.reset i8042.nomux

Hope this helps.

AlexKey, 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? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text.

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.

Please let us know your results. Thanks in advance.
