Public bug reported:
I get a complete cursor movement freeze in edgy every few minutes. This
is a synaptics touchpad. It has never been detected as one (xorg.conf
says it's a mouse) but even when I changed this to be a real synaptics
touchpad, the problem still remains.
dmesg suggests synchronisation errors. I will attach dmesg, syslog and
lspci -vv soon.
This is edgy up-to-date (7th October). No earlier installation, so I
don't know when it got broken like that.
Once I stopped Ubuntu from destroying the harddrive in this laptop (it's
parking every few seconds, this has CATASTROPHIC consequences, sudo
hdparm -B 254 /dev/hda fixes this), the freezes occur more rarely, but
when they do it's a complete freeze and I have to wait at least 5
seconds for unfreezing.
