Interesting! I tried this with a 10 second disable time.
And I tested to see that it was actually doing the disable.
Sure enough, it did. I then moved the mouse. It continued
to jump about. Looks like the touchpad is not interfering.
However I think I will like having syndaemon around when

That's new to me!
And to add to that, make sure there's no little fuzzies or anything in your
optical sensors. When mine jumps I blow out the cat hair.

For synaptics touchpads there is a utility called syndaemon that will
turn off the touchpad while you are typing.
It is quite useful on laptops. You can configure the timeouts too.
Basically you have to wait a half-second after the last key press for
the touchpad to begin generating events.

To turn off the touchpad you have to go into the bios and find the
touchpad device then disable it. That is the cleanest way.

For the laptop can you turn off the touch pad, that can make a

What a generous offer! And a great price!
I live in Corvallis. The drive to and from Eugene would be
more expensive than just buying a mouse. OTOH you have a
proven good one.
I plan to go to the IT-PRO meeting on April 21. Will you
be there? I could bring my lappy and mice. We could try

I have some spare USB mice if you want to swap out one for General

Yes, the USB and the PS2 mice were and are both optical.
The mouse pad is fabric on neoprene. It isn't glossy at all.
So the fact that this is optical is almost certainly not the cause.

Yea Bill is on to something here my optical mouse has similar issues in
work lappy with windows. at home i use a flat black pad and at work I
use a sheet of white paper, if I use a sheet with text on it the mouse
will some times get wacky but not as bad as you described.to bad you
could not bar
My 2 cents:
I don't know anyone covered this yet, but just to make sure it's not
PEBKAC, I will operate on the assumption the mouse is optical. Is the
PS2 one you had optical? If not, check your mousing surface. Make sure
it's not too reflective , or just use a piece of white paper below the
mouse

Since my desktop is currently dead I am limping with a laptop.
That's why I need to use the USB mouse. It doesn't accept PS2.
And the touch pad is awkward compared to a mouse.
The problem I've
Are you talking about using a USB mouse with a laptop that has a
touchpad or is this a desktop PC?
My G7 Logitech is USB and works very well both with lappy and desktop in
Ubuntu.I could post X11of my PCs if you wish?
Also wireless phones /microwaves can interfere with that area of
