The only infra red device on this laptop is the receiver for the remote control. I don't think that should be affecting this.
Next time it happens (probably later tonight), I'll attach a wired mouse, but I think the issues will remain. After that, I'll try blacklisting the wacom driver and seeing if that stops it occurring, then the synaptics driver should the problem still occur without the touch screen. Stand by for the results Cheers -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1047611 Title: Very weird mouse sticking issues To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1047611/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
