(Get the code!)
Hi,
I just wanted to add that I downgraded to Ubuntu 8.10 (I can't deal with computer freezes... I don't have a test machine, sorry :( ).
Now... the problem is _there_ as well! But, it's much more subtle. I think it's subtle enough to make people slightly hate their touchpad and Ubuntu in general, but it's not clear enough (not in 8.10) to go "Ah, that's what's happening!".
In 8.10 as well, there is a small delay from when the touchpad has input to when the driver actually does something about it. I must say the problem is WAY less in 8.10 than 9.04, but I _guarantee_ it's there. If you know it's there, you suddenly realise why you hate the touchpad and you see clearly the delay. In 9.04, the problem is multiplied by 5x (give or take), and that's why people noticed.
I am happy to provide whatever info you might need.
Merc.
