[Bug 365943] Re: Mouse cursor jumps when two fingers are used
Lenovo Egde 2-1580, Ubuntu 16.04 I have this problem, so I suppose the fix hasn't made into the standard release yet.

[Bug 365943]
Created attachment 40902 Add JumpyCursorThreshold option patch v5 For those touchpads that don't support multi-finger or sending correct finger width, the jumpy cursor problem is still there. One notable example is the ClickPad found on Lenovo S10-3t whose ClickPad suffers from this jumpy cursor problem very severely, because its buttons also have sensible surface thus every time you click a button without lifting another finger from the pad, such as when trying to drag a window or select text, the cursor jumps, and renders the whole touchpad nigh unusable. (if you are wondering why Synaptics driver doesn't enable ClickPad mode and limit the touch area thus ignore ABS sent from button area, it's because those ClickPads send out BTN_LEFT and BTN_RIGHT just as normal touchpads so they don't trigger the ClickPad mode, which is designed for ClickPads that never send BTN_RIGHT) Therefore Alberto Milone's JumpyCursorThreshold option patch is still needed, which is the best solution I've seen so far. I've attached the new patch I ported to head. I've tested it in MeeGo and it works very well (with Threshold set to 250). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/365943 Title: Mouse cursor jumps when two fingers are used To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-driver-synaptics/+bug/365943/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi there, It has been seen that the this jump problem persist in touchpads that has built in multitouch support(usually newer synaptics touchpads). These touchpads had not been supported for multitouch in linux till now, however using some recent work done by some pros, a experimental version of the multitouch support(using newer protocol) has been released. Please try the dkms package in bug #308191 and unsubscribe here, if the problem disappears because it means the problem was due to wrong kernel driver so the more appropriate solution of the problem should be at the kernel level rather in xserver-xorg-input-synaptics.

Exactly the same happens to me in a Samsung R480 notebook, with a Synaptics touchpad. The multitouch capabilities are present, because in windows 7 (dual boot) works fine. Notable things: 1.- The problem does solve when running one finger flat, as was mentioned. 2.- Multitouch capabilities do not work by default, I have to run an (attached) script at startup in order to make multitouch work. I also have them greyed out in mouse options. 3.- The problem appears at random, at times it starts ok and the touchpad works and sometimes it presents the bug. 4.- The problem disappears when resuming.

nh2, No problems! :) Yes, I think the bug is the same. I had not noticed the connection with the usage of two fingers.

Bryce, A more advanced version of my patch is now included in Karmic and here's the current status: 1) when the Dell Mini 10v is detected it will work well out of the box, thanks to a quirk in the fdi file which sets the property mentioned in point 2 2) users can set the "Synaptics Jumpy Cursor Threshold" property to a value which works for them (which depends on the touchpad model) using either xinput, synclient or the fdi file. This approach is definitely regression free as (by default) we rely on quirks for 3 models and preserve normal behaviour on other touchpad models. ** Tags added: karmic ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Fix Released -- Mouse cursor jumps when two fingers are used https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/365943 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

OK, here you are.

@nh2 Please follow these steps so that I can see what's happening: 1. Enable the "universe" repository and refresh your packages list. 2. Download and install the deb package of "synaptics-report" (which works on hardy, jaunty and karmic) from this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~albertomilone/+archive/ppa 3. Press CTRL-ALT-F1 to go to the 1st terminal (you'll see only the command line) and log in. 4. Type the following command: sudo synaptics-report and follow the instructions which the program will give you. 5. Press ALT-F7 to go back to your desktop environment 6. Look for the synaptics_report.log file in the same directory in which you executed the synaptics-report command (usually your home directory) and attach the file. -- Mouse cursor jumps when two fingers are used https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/365943 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

0.99.3-2ubuntu5 (it is in the X Updates PPA and Karmic, right?) causes the same problems as stated in #4 on a Samsung NC10 and a Dell Latitude 2100. Both touchpads become almost unusable as when moving the finger faster than snail speed, the cursor just stops moving and continues only in small jumps, as if it had hung up somewhere. A note: That two-finger-hopping is what I would have expected to happen - most notebooks I've used running Windows Synaptic drivers do behave exactly like this.

I see this 'random jump to somewhere else' problem when using Gimp, under KDE4 (Kubuntu 9.4, Dell 1525n hardware, which is an ALPS/2 synaptics-like touchpad). Most evident when using the 'clone tool'. Dragging across the image with left button down will suddenly jump several hundred pixels up and left. Dragging in KDE seems fine Applying 99.3-2ubuntu5 from the PPA has no effect, and the cursor now feels 'sticky' and less responsive even in KDE. -- Mouse cursor jumps when two fingers are used https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/365943 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

Ok, you've got report of your first victim here: On both a Macbook Core 2 Duo (touchpad 051c:021a / appletouch) and whatever touchpad the Dell Mini 9 uses, installing 2ubuntu5 from the PPA causes EXTREMELY poor fine-grained control of the touchpad to the point that it is utterly unusable. Long scale movements are exteremely nondeterministic: Moving slowly (i.e. 0.5cm/sec) across the touchpad produces ZERO movement, swiping across the touchpad rapidly might move the mouse halfway across the screen.

This does not match the SRU criteria, is not a regression, not a totally unreasonable behaviour, and is a pretty intrusive patch which is not guaranteed to be regression free on all the hardware out there.

[Bug 365943] Re: Mouse cursor jumps when two fingers are used
I found the cause of the problem and I dramatically reduced the problem (we tested this in the OEM team). Sometimes the reported movement deltas are too big to actually take place in 20 milliseconds or less (no human hand would ever be able to move this fast). Furthermore, a comparison between the timestamps collected in priv->move_hist and the ones I'm getting for each event shows that something goes wrong and that one or more events are skipped, hence the deltas are wrong (i.e. bigger than they should really be). The next event is wrong too. Currently, as you can see in the attached patch, I tell the driver to ignore these events and it seems to correct the driver's behaviour. Knowing why some events are skipped would be even better though. ** Attachment added: "111_fix_jumpy_cursor.patch" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/25916812/111_fix_jumpy_cursor.patch -- Mouse cursor jumps when two fingers are used https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/365943 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
