Comment 73 for bug 365943

Hi there,

It has been seen that the this jump problem persist in touchpads that has built in multitouch support(usually newer synaptics touchpads). These touchpads had not been supported for multitouch in linux till now, however using some recent work done by some pros, a experimental version of the multitouch support(using newer protocol) has been released. Please try the dkms package in bug #308191 and unsubscribe here, if the problem disappears because it means the problem was due to wrong kernel driver so the more appropriate solution of the problem should be at the kernel level rather in xserver-xorg-input-synaptics.

This bug and the patches provided here would still cover many touchpads that does not support multitouch capabilities.
