[i945gm] Can't drag anything after I click on it.

[Bastanteroma]

Binary package hint: xorg

Since upgrading from Lucid to Maverick I can't drag anything. That means no resizing or moving windows, no selecting text, no moving tabs in Chrome, no sliding the volume up and down, etc.

For a more detailed example, when I hover over a window edge, the cursor will change to indicate it's prepared to grab it. But as soon as I click and move it, the cursor reverts to a plain arrow, and the window edge doesn't more.

Still true using 10.10 daily build on December 8, 2010.

Just noticed that I can drag things if I use my trackpoint instead of my touchpad. This reminded me that I use the buttons associated with the trackpoint because the ones associated witth the touchpad are physically broken. So that's maybe a clue. This was testing today's daily build.

Input driver bug. Hopefully fixed.
