Public bug reported:
Using quantal, up to date on 4 June 2012.
System is a iMac 11,2 (mid 2010) with i3 processor, 4 GB memory and Mobility
Radeon 4670 video.
Currently booted into gnome desktop (Ubuntu 12.10 (quantal) using efi stub boot
on 3.4.0-3 kernel (first time I've been able to do this). Other ways of booting
have been tried but don't change this problem.
The graphics driver in use is uncertain. I couldn't get fglrx to compile
against this kernel so I set the xorg device to 'fbdev'.
Windows move easily on screen and there doesn't seem to be any lag in redraws.
I'd say the desktop is as responsive as OSX.
When I want to resize a window, by click-drag an edge or corner of the window,
the mouse pointer jumps around and is almost impossible to control. The mouse
pointer is not good compared with OSX pointer handling.
I have tried to disable overlay scrollbars using
sudo echo "export LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0" >
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/80overlayscrollbars
and rebooting. The scrollbars are now old-style but problem still there.
This could be a gnome or xorg setting that I don't know about. Mouse
acceleration and sensitivity are both minimum, drag and drop threshold
is max.
This poor pointer control was present on 12.04 but didn't seem so severe as it
is now.
I regard this as a major fault in usability for the desktop.
