Igor Lopez, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (1.10). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?
If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't have to create a new bug report. Once the BIOS is updated, and the information above is provided, then please mark this report Status Confirmed. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-1.10 ** Tags removed: synaptic touchpad xorg ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => 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/1432413 Title: Synaptic Touchpad xevents are hijacked under X Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Synaptic Touchpad xevents are hijacked under X11. I have a problem with the synaptic touch-pad on my Acer Aspire that started around a week ago. The problem can be described as that there is a massive amount of xevents being generated and appearing to originate from the touch-pad even though the touch-pad is not used. I have tested the HW which seems to work fine. The test performed is to start a terminal session (Ctrl + Alt + 2) before the fault occurs and check the xevents by running ~$ sudo evtest /dev/input/eventX where the X to use is found in /proc/bus/input/devices and found by running ~$ cat /proc/bus/input/devices |grep mouse No matter how much the touch-pad is used will the console show the corresponding events which indicates that HW and driver works OK as long it is not under X When the problem has occurred (in Desktop mode) is it easy (but inconvenient) to get back to normal by key combo Fn+F7 twice, turn off touch-pad and then turn on again. And more, one can get unlucky in the sense that the generated events could click somewhere one do not want to click. During the problem is it impossible to use the mouse since it flies around (mostly going in a bottom to top of screen direction) but one can check the generated events using evtest again. How can I help troubleshooting the problem?
