Hi Gursimran, yes, I'm positive that this bug doesn't affect VT. I tested it again and again, the pointer moved properly throughout the test.
Again, since the pointer can be recovered by Alt-F7 (or Alt-F8), it's unlikely a synaptics bug. More likely, it's an X bug but only triggered by some types of touchpad. xev log clearly shows the bug, position root:(0,0) never changes with MotionNotify events. As I mentioned, when the pointer is trapped at root:(0,0), the touchpad basically works, I can still tap-2-click, xev records MotionEvents as well. This explains how I took the xev log mentioned. still, is there a way to make X more verbose on events? -- Pointer stuck in upper-left corner while using touchpad on the upper left corner in emachines 2350 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/500658 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
