Public bug reported: This is a Ubuntu certified machine but it seems we've got a problem. I tested, ubuntu-10.10, 11.04 and 11.10 all have the same issue.
The problem is that after the usage of a few minutes the cursor would only move up and down, sometimes clicking with the touchpad would unmaximize. I have to "sudo modprobe -r psmouse; sudo modprobe psmouse" every 5-6 minutes which makes Ubuntu totally useless on this system ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.04 Package: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics 1.3.99+git20110116.0e27ce3a-0ubuntu12.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.38-8.42-generic 2.6.38.2 Uname: Linux 2.6.38-8-generic x86_64 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: [core,bailer,detection,composite,opengl,decor,mousepoll,vpswitch,regex,animation,snap,expo,move,compiztoolbox,place,grid,imgpng,gnomecompat,wall,ezoom,workarounds,staticswitcher,resize,fade,unitymtgrabhandles,scale,session,unityshell] CompositorRunning: compiz Date: Sat Jul 23 22:28:22 2011 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: natty DistroVariant: ubuntu GraphicsCard: Intel Corporation N10 Family Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:a011] (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.
