Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-mouse
I have installed Ubuntu 10.04 on a HP DV3 series laptop computer. The
Laptop uses a Synaptics Touchpad as an input device. The installation
process went fine, and then I used the update manager to execute all
the pending updates. After that, there is one problem that I can't
figure out. Every now and then, maybe many times per day my cursor
(arrow) goes nuts. When I touch the Touchpad to move the arrow, all of a
sudden the arrow jumps all over the screen by itself. If I just barely
touch the Touchpad the arrow jumps around the screen erratically. While
this is going on, I have no control over the movement of the arrow. If I
touch the pad once again, it starts behaving normally . Sooner or later
though very frequently, this weird behavior returns. There does not seem
to be any pattern at all as to when it has this pproblem. It seems to be
random. I never know when my Touchpad is going to exhibit this problem.
Does anybody have any idea what is going on, and how to fix it?
