[Bug 243761] Re: MacBook touchpad issues
Josh Anders, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ . If it remains an issue, could you run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report. apport-collect -p linux Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please do not test the kernel in the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. As well, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'. If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream', and comment as to why specifically you were unable to test it. Please let us know your results. Thanks in advance. ** Tags added: needs-upstream-testing ** Tags added: hardy ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/243761 Title: MacBook touchpad issues To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/243761/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 243761] Re: MacBook touchpad issues
Not sure is this is the same thing since my issue is persistent. Moving your finger across the pad works fine for long strokes, however rolling your finger is erratic and annoying. Placing the finger on the pad and instead of moving your hand with finger stiff in place to drag the mouse, tilt your hand so your finger rolls up or down and the touchpad may or may not move the mouse. The subtle change isn't picked up by the touchpad. This makes catching the edge of windows for resizing very difficult without a really steady hand. Other synaptic pads also using Ubuntu work normally using this method. I only noticed this when I began using a Macbook that I just installed 8.10 on. There seems to be something in the sensitivity settings that doesn't respond properly to small movements. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the touchpad being almost twice as large (larger surface area) as other laptop touchpads. It's large enough to make a stylus driven wacom like tablet out of it. -- MacBook touchpad issues https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/243761 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 243761] Re: MacBook touchpad issues
I can still reproduce the erratic touch-pad behavior after a suspend/resume on 9.04 kernel 2.6.28-13. Note, Sometimes it takes 2 or 3 suspends and resumes to cause the behavior but after it happens I have to reboot to get usable touch-pad behavior back. It's a serious enough defect to make Ubuntu not usable in practice on my laptop. -- MacBook touchpad issues https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/243761 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Josh: can you try 8.10 alpha5 livecd to see if this issue is fixed there.

Got this wrong. Some time gone. The touchpad wasn't too fast, it was way too slow and one full movement on it only got you as far as 1/3 of the screen.
