@lozdawney: "I am sure we can all be productive and happy while our laptops/pc's freeze up while we are using them, or while using low performing and buggy drivers."
Personally I would rather have a laptop with an annoying problem that can be worked around with a mouse (!) than rendering my entire system unusable by wrongly applying a patch to such an important package. Patching important system parts is not an easy task, and when you do it yourself you should know what you're doing and know what to do when things go wrong. I was simply trying to help, no need to get aggressive. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-prime in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1220426 Title: [nvidia-prime]Freeze while using touchpad Status in X.Org X server: Confirmed Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-319” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-331” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-343” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “nvidia-prime” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: I'm using an Optimus laptop (Asus N43SL) nvidia-prime is installed, so my nvidia dedicated graphics card (GT 540m) is in use. Once in a while, my screen will freeze, only when I use my touchpad. This does not happen with my USB mouse. This does not happen either when I uninstall nvidia-prime and use my intel integrated graphics (HD3000). I can temporarily solve the issue by doing a VT switch. In the attached Xorg.0.log, you can see "synaptics: ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad: touchpad found" each time I did a VT switch and regained control.
