The main problem seems to be when I place a second finger close to my first finger causing the cursor to jump and jerk across the screen (i.e., disappers and reappears in any other part of the screen). I have tried to alter values in synclient to reduce this but I haven't had much luck.
I've compared the touchpad sensitivity in Win7 and this doesn't happen there. As for the touchpad area, the very top and very bottom also are not respsonsive in Win7 so this is probably not an issue, just something I picked up on (#7) when searching for clues. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1272624 Title: [Dell Latitude E7440] 14.04 Touchpad not as smooth as Win7 Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: This bug report has been produced to help improve the touchpad on a Dell Latitude E7440 on Ubuntu 14.04 alpha.
