Comment 30 for bug 234466

I'm glad I found this problem report, but not really, because this happening to me too.

I just installed Ubuntu KarmicKoala (9.10) on my x41, and aside from a dozen apps, or so, mine is a pretty-vanilla installation.

My behavior is just like others have described: crazy jumpiness; random mouseclicks.

One thing I've noticed is the pen likes to jump to the edges of the screen, and seemingly, usually to the left and top edges (something to do with stray zeroes being read for some reason?)

So, when I have a drawing program like xournal open and the problem manifests, I get this interesting series of "rays" or radial spokes emanating from the left edge. When I try to draw a curve, the rays keep jumping back and forth between ray and curve, ray and curve. It's kind of beautiful, but also maddening.

None of the ttyS0 commands seemed to do anything for me. I tried the suspend/wake trick just now, and it worked. Let's see how long this stays healthy!
