I recently installed Ubuntu 11.04 on a Lenovo T410s and noticed that the
mouse cursor/pointer would jump/reset periodically. If I had Twinview on
the pointer would reset somewhere on the other monitor. I turned that
off and the pointer still reset but within the only existing screen
available. I disabled all the mouse input devices and enabled them one
at a time starting with my USB mouse until I found the one that caused
the resets.
I was able to temporarily fix the problem by disabling the "N-Trig Pen eraser"
input device.
