Okay, I think my problem is that the touchpad driver locks the touchpad "clicked", i.e. it thinks I've clicked-and-held.
I get these messages beforehand in dmesg: [124746.285974] psmouse.c: GlidePoint at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost sync at byte 5 [124746.287564] psmouse.c: GlidePoint at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost sync at byte 1 [124746.294845] psmouse.c: GlidePoint at isa0060/serio1/input0 - driver resynched.

Keyboard events, etc., are affected because that's how it acts when the mouse is clicked: - alt-tab doesn't do anything but ctrl-alt-left/right do - pressing the suspend key waits and goes blank instead of fading, and comes straight back up to the desktop -- Focus gets stuck to a window - impossible to select other windows https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/362359 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
