Finally got Hardy Beta installed on my HD yesterday, and once updated, looks like this issue has definitely been improved, (i.e. someone must have done something to slow down the touchpad) but now it's gone the other way - at max acceleration, it now takes 29 full left-to-right travels across the touchpad to move from the left end of the screen to the right @ 1280x800, (still, _much_ better than the hyper-acceleration that happened before, which made the system unusable).
Tried again with the i8042.nomux=1 switch, and that's absolutely perfect - just the right amount of movement at the default acceleration speeds. Would suggest modding the default acceleration to that level. It really is so nice to see things like this get addressed this quickly, and will go a long way toward getting more and more folks transferring over - well done, Guys! :) Dylan ** Changed in: ubuntu Status: New => In Progress -- Touchpad in Dell XPS M1530 entirely unusable - Hardy Beta https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/216797 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
