** Description changed: On MSI GT60-20C with Ubuntu 14.10, the touchpad freezes the XServer when combining LeftClick + Tap, or multifinger taps. As a workaround, I was partly initializing the XServer by performing a Ctrl+Alt+F1 then a Ctrl+Alt+F7. The touchpad continues to work after this. I tried to dig deeper into the problem, so when the XServer freezed again, I continued to move the cursor to a known place, I performed after my Ctrl+Alt+F1/F7 combination, and found the cursor in a different place after freezing. This actually means that when the XServer freezes it only stops rendering the place of the cursor. I got an idea, and installed Gnome Pointing Devices; I changed the settings of Vertical/Horizontal scrolling and the problem seemed to occur less up till now. + + EDIT: It happened again, I was watching a video, the video continued to + play but the compositor stopped rendering the screen. I am running the + proprietary driver of NVidia on my OS.
