Ok I understand. Made a quick test inside VirtualBox with latest Wily image and at least got a working desktop but it is not suitable for testing this bug since VirtualBox is still running inside 14.04 Xorg plus we will not experience same type of race conditions inside VirtualBox as on real disk. I will make a new test on my second drive but I am not interested in working on Wily for troubleshooting this bug. The outcome will either be: 1) No problem on Wily (does not help me since I am staying on 14.04). One could maybe find out what has changed in order to narrow down the problem on 14.04. 2) Same problem on Wily -> somebody with knowledge will fix the bug and then maybe it is possible to backport fix back to 14.04.

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?
