Title: [nvidia-prime]Freeze while using touchpad Status in X.Org X server: Confirmed Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Using Asus N43SL laptop as an example, with nvidia-prime installed, so the dedicated NVIDIA graphics card (GT 540m) is in use, once in a while, my screen will freeze when I use my touchpad. WORKAROUND: Use USB mouse. WORKAROUND: Uninstall nvidia-prime and use integrated graphics. WORKAROUND: Do a VT switch via Ctrl+Alt+F1 then Ctrl+Alt+F7.
