I'm reopening the bug. I can reproduce it on natty on my netbook.
Fwiw, I found that I could resolve it by doing:
echo 40 > /sys/module/psmouse/parameters/rate
it seems to make the touchpad a bit more jittery (which is acceptable
for me when in a situation where I want to max out battery life).
Perhaps a value of 60 would be a better compromise. The default appears
to be 100.
I'm not sure what package exactly is responsible for this sysfs setting;
I'm going to go ahead and assume the kernel for now.
