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. This bug and the patches provided here would still cover many touchpads that does not support multitouch capabilities. -- 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

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. Hope this help.

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

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.

[Bug 365943] Re: Mouse cursor jumps when two fingers are used
OK, here you are. I first moved both fingers slowly, then in the speed which triggers the problems, then slowly again. ** Attachment added: Synaptics Report on a Dell Latitude 2100 http://launchpadlibrarian.net/30195923/synaptics_report.log -- 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

Bryce - I tried out the karmic driver on my Dell Mini 10v and experienced the jumpy trackpad problem described in this bug.

[Bug 365943] Re: Mouse cursor jumps when two fingers are used
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

[Bug 365943] Re: Mouse cursor jumps when two fingers are used
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. Maybe the limits are not well tuned or universal? -- 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

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. Please get this fixed in karmic and upstream instead.

[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
