hello,
the problem here can be fixed under ubuntu and xubuntu by changing driver from xorg to xfree86, but kubuntu fails to work if you install xfree86 synaptics driver. i wrote to the husband of my sister, who wrote the xorg synaptics driver so, maybe he can come up with a solution. If you install the xfree86 driver, the package manager will disinstall the kubuntu-desktop package. My laptop works fine also without the kubuntu manager, except if you try to log out from a session the screen becomes black and i have to restart the laptop.
