If the instructions are too difficult for you, you really should ask yourself whether you want take the (quite substantial) risk of modifying core packages of your installation. If you make an error, you risk making your installation unusable.
Also, setting up a PPA isn't really worth the effort: a fix has been found now, which means that it shouldn't take that long until a fixed Xorg package finds its way trough the regular updates. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-prime in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1220426 Title: [nvidia-prime]Freeze while using touchpad Status in X.Org X server: Confirmed Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-319” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-331” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-343” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “nvidia-prime” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: I'm using an Optimus laptop (Asus N43SL) nvidia-prime is installed, so my nvidia dedicated graphics card (GT 540m) is in use. Once in a while, my screen will freeze, only when I use my touchpad. This does not happen with my USB mouse. This does not happen either when I uninstall nvidia-prime and use my intel integrated graphics (HD3000). I can temporarily solve the issue by doing a VT switch. In the attached Xorg.0.log, you can see "synaptics: ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad: touchpad found" each time I did a VT switch and regained control.
