Quick fix for this I use is to turn off 'vblank'. Create a file in your HOME folder called .drirc and insert the text below. All seems to get a little easier with the notification area after.

Re: Issue with the notification area
Hi, I can give an update after the Tim advices. Finally, trigger the notification with the touchpad is pretty easy. I put the cursor few cms above the notification area, and with a good finger movement, no problem, it's 100% successfull. With the mouse, it's more problematic even if I know now what I must do. I can try 20 times, and won't get even 1 success. I have to train myself a bit more I guess, but it's a bit difficult. romu On Sat, Sep 14, 2013 at 4:03 AM, Sam Bull wrote: > On Fri, 2013-09-13 at 23:41 +0200, Michael Flaig wrote: > > There was a change to the notification bar but I thought it happened > > around 3.6 or 3.8 already, but the Ubuntu Xserver was missing a patch > > needed for the new trigger method, so the old method was used on Ubuntu > > anyway.

The activities corner was triggered whenever the cursor touched it, while the message tray was triggered when the cursor was hovered against the edge for a couple of seconds. Now, it should use pressure to trigger. Which means the activity corner should not be activated accidentally so much, while the message tray can be opened without a delay. I've not tried it out myself yet though, I'll just wait till 13.10 is released. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part -- Ubuntu-GNOME mailing list Ubuntu-GNOME@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-gnome
Re: Issue with the notification area
Hi, I cannot confirm the problem with the notification bar on my system. Honestly I think it got much easier to trigger than before!? I'm using the internal point stick on my thinkpad T61 as well as a the point stick on my external keyboard when docked with no issues and it is easy to trigger with the point stick. I think less force is needed than before. There was a change to the notification bar but I thought it happened around 3.6 or 3.8 already, but the Ubuntu Xserver was missing a patch needed for the new trigger method, so the old method was used on Ubuntu anyway. But don't ask me what the difference between new and old behaviour is - I can't tell. I am using xorg-edgers ppa and a point stick with pretty high acceleration as I have to navigate a 30" screen - my experience is probably not really comparable. Anyway the movement generated by the touch pad could be not enough which would explain your issue. Did you try to increase the acceleration of the pointer through settings to work around it?

Re: Issue with the notification area
The problem of making such thing to trigger with a bit of speed, is it makes things very difficult if you use a touchpad. I'll try to compare with a mouse and the touchpad tonight. Thanks for the tip about FB.

Issue with the notification area
Hi, Found a serious issue on the 13.10 Beta: it's extremely difficult to get the notification area visible. Have things changed in these components? I also suspect an issue with the Facebook account not usable with Empathy, but I'll tell more asap. romu -- Ubuntu-GNOME mailing list Ubuntu-GNOME@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-gnome
