hi, during an apt-get upgrade today, my xserver-xorg-input-synaptics was upgraded to 1.8.0-1 and the same problem arise.
I'm not using an Elantech mouse, but an ALPS: $ egrep -i 'synap|alps|etps' /proc/bus/input/devices N: Name="ALPS PS/2 Device" N: Name="AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint" I noticed the problem in GDM login screen, xfce and fluxbox. If I plug an external usb mouse, the pointer moves normally with the mouse and slowly with the touchpad. more info: $ dpkg -l xserver-xorg-input-synaptics Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Nome Versão Arquitectura Descrição +++-==================-==============-==============-========================================== ii xserver-xorg-input 1.8.0-1 i386 Synaptics TouchPad driver for X.Org server $ more /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf Section "InputClass" Identifier "touchpad catchall" Driver "synaptics" MatchIsTouchpad "on" # This option is recommend on all Linux systems using evdev, but cannot be # enabled by default.
