Now I've tried synclient. First I had to enable SHMConfig, which in 10.04 is done in /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf (I learned).
After running synclient -m 1 I moved my finger really slow towards the right and between time 9.651 (x=5979) and time 9.691 (x=8176) the touchpad made "the jump". Since this is the coordinates on the touchpad and no acceleration is noticeable---there is an actual "jump"---the problem seems to lay in the "transition" from the regular "move-the-cursor" area into the scrolling area. The questions is why the cursor jumps and not just stops at x=5979 when my finger enters the scrolling area? ** Attachment added: "synclient.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/50431559/synclient.txt -- scrolling issues using touchpad https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/591656 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
