[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1574667] Re: Mouse pointer occasionally jumps to the bottom-left corner
The previously posted Juan workaround also worked for me too on the Dell XPS 15 running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1574667] Re: Mouse pointer occasionally jumps to the bottom-left corner
PS: I realized I needed to point out corrections to my previous post about my Dell XPS 15 which is running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, as follows: (1) touchpad mouse pointer randomly jumps to the bottom left corner, which frustratingly can result in the trash application opening up since one might be trying to click an application, and at least having to move the mouse pointer back to where you need it. (this is not related to touchscreen. this is touchpad issue) (2) text typing ... too often the position jumps backwards several characters so you wind up typing in the middle of your sentence, and sometimes jumps elsewhere in the text field. Just typing this, it jumped once or twice as I said. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1574667 Title: Mouse pointer occasionally jumps to the bottom-left corner To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1574667/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1574667] Re: Mouse pointer occasionally jumps to the bottom-left corner
I have been experiencing the identical problem on my new Dell XPS 15 touchscreen laptop running Ubuntu 16.04 fully patched. Two problems actually: (1) touchpad mouse pointer randomly jumps to the bottom left corner, which frustratingly can result in the trash application opening up, and at least having to reset the mouse pinter back to where you need it. (2) mouse pointer too often also jumps backwards several characters so you wind up typing in the middle of your sentence. Both of the above problems become frustrating enough that you want to throw the laptop across the room, LOL. It happened to me like 3-4 times just typing this. Windows is also on this computer and has no such issues. Ubuntu, this has really got to be fixed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1574667 Title: Mouse pointer occasionally jumps to the bottom-left corner To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1574667/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Status update: Over the past week, I've experienced a hard freeze once more. Active apps were Firefox, System Monitor, Deluge torrent, and the gnome- screensaver. The freeze was triggered just after the gnome-screensaver kicked in, and i tried wakign the computer from the screensaver again with a mouse movement, at which point i found it to have been hard frozen, with the screensaver stuck on the first picture in the slideshow sequence.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 574576] [NEW] lucid final hard freeze w/ screen garbling (suspect xorg crash)
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xorg Firing blind, but will update this as i find out more: I'm using Lucid Lynx final release, fresh installed, on this system (Samsung laptop R580, Intel Core i...@2,13 Ghz, 4 G RAM, nvidia 330M). System has been in use for a few days with this install. Symptoms: random hard system freezes where the screen either becomes garbles or torn across the middle (vertically) with no cursor response to mouse movement, OR (non-garbled) screen freeze with a short lasting cursor response to mouse movement with a hard freeze of the screen and all computer activity shortly after, OR an immediate freeze with no response whatsoever to user input and no screen garbling. Dropping out to TTY doesnt work; in all cases a hard shutdown is required, as keyboard input becomes impossible. Conditions: Happens uniquely when Firefox is the foremost application and a Firefox window is active. Freezes tend to happen with moderate windows and tab number active (fx. 3 windows and perhaps 15 tabs in all). Other active apps (typically): Pidgin, Vinagre, Nautilus, Gedit, System monitor. Other software of interest installed or in use on system: CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor 2.30.0 (4x, one for each CPU core) attached to gnomepanel. Gnome-do installed but never invoked at any time close to crashes. Other tests: Have been left on overnight with System monitor on the resources overview to test of that would trigger a crash/freeze, which it hasn't yet. Therefore, I suspect that it is a bug in X-org, triggered by Firefox in an unknown way. I cannot attach apport information, as it does not report anything upon reboot (no reports of kernel panics or the like). System did not show any such behavior during testing Lucid from Beta 2 and up to RC.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 361456] Re: [RS690] fglrx HDMI overscan in both 720p and 1080p modes
Despite the bug being closed, i hope I can bring some new light on this. I've obtained a new display today; Samsung SyncMaster P2450 - 1920x1080. It replaces an older 1920x1200 display. The new display has native HDMI, the older only had DVI-D, and i used it with an HDMI-to-DVI adapter to make it work, but it worked fine. My gfx card is a Radeon HD4650, likewise with a native HDMI port. After some unrelated bugs with usplash, I've run my head into this - that the edges of the screen are cut off. Mind, this is not a TV display, but a regular PC display. After pulling out some newly grown grey hairs, I succumbed to installing the ATI fglrx drivers, and discovered that the screen cutoff is related to overscanning (set in Display Settings > Scaling Options). Setting it to a low value (underscanning) makes the entire desktop vibsible, but making it match the screen edges precisely seems impossible. There is still the problem that even though I can line the desktop up mostly well witht he screen edges, the pixels still seem blurred, and this is unaceptable. Uninstalling fglrx reverts the overscan settign back to max, cutting off the screen edges again. Since Bryce H. asked for a triage 5 minths ago with the recently updated drivers then, I'd assume that the bug is not fixed. I'll try to be of assistance if more needs to be done. - p -- [RS690] fglrx HDMI overscan in both 720p and 1080p modes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/361456 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
