However, the diagnosis done by Aielyn is sound, it just needs a more sophisticated patch.
I've coded up this patch which adds a configurable option to disable the touchpad resolution detection functionality. With this turned on it should have the same effect as Aielyn's patch. This way, we can use this workaround only on hardware that requires it. ** Patch added: "116_resolution_detect_option.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/327428/+attachment/1752254/+files/116_resolution_detect_option.patch ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/327428 Title: mouse pointer no longer has 1 pixel precision -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
