@Andy: Thanks for the very useful conf file! It seems that sometime in 2010/2011 the default directory has switched from /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ to /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ ... so we should use that instead. There is already a 50-synaptics.conf file there. Currently I've pasted your config in a new 52-synaptics-x230.conf and it works well*. But for a proper fix the responsible Ubuntu maintainers should put it into the already present 51-synaptics-quirks.conf (which is obviously meant for such an occasion) with the correct MatchTag.
I'd provide the MatchTag myself if I knew how to get it properly, but 'udevadm info --export-db' doesn't seem to offer anything directly useful and 'xinput -list' gives the fairly generic 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad'. * As an aside, I'm not sure if your config is 100% tuned, because my touchpad still jumps (just a few pixels) when moving slow-ish over the screen, but much less than before and I'm generally using the trackpoint anyway, so it's no big deal for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1042069 Title: Jumpy Mouse Cursor using Thinkpad X230 Touchpad To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/1042069/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
