You have been subscribed to a public bug:
I've noticed that with my Magic Trackpad on Ubuntu 10.10 (x64) I cannot
make my pointer move in a circular motion because the trackpad is at
least twice as "fast" on the X axis as it is on the "Y" axis. This means
that if I move my finger in a circle on the pad, the mouse point makes a
horizontally stretched ellipse instead of a circle.
This makes it frustrating to use the pad because horizontal movements
are far more sensitive than vertical movements.
Another weird property of this issue is that the behavior appears to
become very gradually more pronounced over time: at first boot my finger
will trace a circle and the mouse pointer will trace it accurately: X
and Y sensitivity seem about equal. After 5 - 10 minutes the X axis will
be twice as sensitive (or perhaps the Y axis is 2x less senstive!?).
After 30 minutes it's even worse, with the X axis 4 or 5 times as
sensitive as the Y.
Turning the Magic Trackpad off and on makes no difference. Restarting
Ginn makes no difference.
Is this a known issue? I could not find a bug report of it anywhere.
This is my first bug report, please let me know if I can provide any
more information.
Thanks,
SD
