Comment 99 for bug 123775

Hi Alan,

Mine is still not working fully.

If I try to move the mouse pointer from the bottom to the top of the screen
or vice versa then I have to stroke the touchpad several times - which is
normal i know. Problem is that sometimes I might stroke it once from bottom
to top, the pointer moves about 1/3 to 1/2 way up, then I put my finger at
the bottom to stroke it again and the pointer jumps back down to the bottom
of the screen as soon as my finger touches the pad. This sometimes means I
have to stroke it as many as 10 or even 12 times before it gets where I
want.
Then it might work normally for several minutes before it starts messing
about again.
Not sure exactly what the issue is but I have tried other live distros such
as mandriva and Suse and the problem is the same. I do wonder if it is a
fault with my touchpad but it has been like this from day one when I was
running Ubuntu 8.04. ( I bought the machine with no O/S )
