Bug Description

I am using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS x64 on an AMD system (with open source video drivers), and every time I go to the login screen, it is very frustrating using the mouse, as the cursor only moves every few seconds, appears to "jitter" across the screen when I try to move it. When I successfully log in, the mouse goes back to normal, but every time I go back to the login screen, the same thing happens! :(

I am using a wired mouse, so there are no interference problems whatsoever. Please, I am not the only person that uses this computer, and even though I can deal with it, the others that use it can't! (They aren't as awesome-minded!) :P

Please fix this asap! Thanks :)

Thank you for your bug report, that's a known issue. Since when people started to think it's normal to ask volunteer to do work "asap" for free though...?
