As you know, I've been using Lubuntu for years. I have 3 Laptops at my place. 1- HP Pavilion DV6 - Core i5 with 4GB RAM 2- Lenovo G570 - Core i5 2nd generation with 4GB RAM 3- Test Machine - ASUS F3F - Due Core with 512MB RAM I do have this issue on ALL of them. This issue is forcing me to use a mouse. I do NOT want to use a mouse. > If you install Ubuntu on the > same machine (or run it from a LiveCD), do you get a *different* > mousepad sensitivity to the sensitivity in Lubuntu? > I can't remember when was the last time I've used Ubuntu :D since Unity, I'm keeping myself away.

I don't like that.

BY THE WAY, I'm having even harder time when I type, grrrrrrrrrrr, I have mentioned that before, I do blind typing. I don't look at the Keyboard when I type and I do type so fast. I can NOT do that with Lubuntu unless I disable the Touch Pad. Every since word I write, because the Touch Pad is very very sensitive, it always give me mistakes and typo so this issue slow me down a lot. -- "All of us are smarter than any one of us." *Best Regards,* *amjjawad <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/amjjawad/>* *Start Ubuntu<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/CommunicationsTeam/WOWLubuntu/StartUbuntu> * *My Own Business <http://alilinx.blogspot.com/>*
