Public bug reported: After upgrade to Quantal touchpad became unusable. The mouse pointer hardly moves. If two-finger scrolling is enabled it will often scroll instead of moving the pointer. Scrolling using edge scrolling, tapping and the buttons seem to work just fine. I had a similar problem the last time I upgraded this computer, but it somehow magically fixed itself after a couple of days, see bug #996592 for more info
