Kevin Dalley, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. Please advise to all of the following:
1) To clarify, you regarding your self-compiled xserver-xorg-input- synaptics, is that considered a WORKAROUND to the scope of this report? If so, could you please provide the steps precisely you used in this report (not provide a URL)? 2) Regarding your Bug Description "Occasionally, my cursor stops following my mouse movements.": 2a) How often is occasionally, once a minute, once a day, etc.? 2b) Does this issue happen when using an external USB mouse? 2c) Is this issue influenced by how many fingers you have on the touchpad, where on the touchpad you touch, what gesture you are using, etc.? 3) To see if this is already resolved in Ubuntu, could you please test http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ and advise to the results? ** Summary changed: - Touchpad stops working occasionally + [Dell XPS 13 9343] Touchpad stops working occasionally ** Tags added: latest-bios-a15 ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1596248 Title: [Dell XPS 13 9343] Touchpad stops working occasionally Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Occasionally, my cursor stops following my mouse movements. I followed instructions described here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingTouchpadDetection If you do not find a Touchpad in you /proc/bus/input/devices, the bug is in the kernel itself and you should follow these steps: Provide the general information. Directly after logging in to GNOME, KDE, or Xfce open a terminal and enter the following commands: cat /proc/bus/input/devices > ~/devices dmesg > ~/dmesg_boot cp /var/log/Xorg.0.log ~/Xorg.0.log Wait until your touchpad stops working. Open a Virtual Terminal by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1. Enter the following commands: LANG=C dmesg > ~/dmesg diff -ns ~/dmesg_boot ~/dmesg > ~/dmesg_diff cp /var/log/Xorg.0.log ~/Xorg.0.log_tmp diff -ns ~/Xorg.0.log ~/Xorg.0.log_tmp > ~/Xorg.0.log_diff Attach as separate attachments to your bug report ~/devices, ~/dmesg_boot, ~/dmesg_diff, ~/Xorg.0.log and ~/Xorg.0.log_diff.
