Hi
The touchpad doesn't work on Ubuntu 9.04 (the latest)
There is some information about this bug here:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7209519&posted=1#post7209519
Please note that I am JUST covering the touchpad issue here.
The problem seems to be with elantech touchpads. From my understanding of this bug, what's happening is that if the mouse is not moving for a few seconds, and then the touchpad is used, it takes a little while for the driver to kick in. As a result, there is a sense of "getting stuck".
Note that this problem makes the touchpad semi-unusable. Between this, and the Intel video card issue, the upgrade to 9.04 made my computer "hardly usable"...
Not sure how to debug this. It's hard enough to make sense of it...
Bye,
Merc. |

The problem is with Elantech touchpads in HP Pavillon DV2000 Entertainment PC. The more elaborate description of the bug by the bug reporter in comment #13 is as follows--
However, this is exactly what happens: ONLY AFTER leaving it still for a couple of seconds, there is a 200m or 400ms (milliseconds) delay between you moving your finger and the pointer coming to life. If after that pause you keep on moving the mouse, it goes *perfectly* well. If you stop for a little bit, and try to move it again, it will be stuck again -- your finger can move up to about a centimetre, or more, before the pointer finally moves.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Basically, when there is a "cursor is not moving" problem, events don't show up even in evtest log as the Bug reporter finds out. So it is a kernel issue.
