No, the synaptic touchpad is the only problem. you can have two USB mouses and switch user session without loosing control of your mouses. But you can't switch user session with a synaptic touchpad because it will stop working until you get back to the user session you were in.
You can look at the description of the bug and test it on a laptop, I assure you that you will see the problem with a synaptic touchpad. the cat commands didn't works saying that the file ~/proc_bus_input_devices_zxz doesn't exist, so I replaced the command for : cat /proc/bus/input/devices | tee ~/proc_bus_input_devices_zxz Hope that this will be OK.. diff didn't found any difference between ~/proc_bus_input_devices_zxz and ~/proc_bus_input_devices_tmp But just look at the Xorg.0.log_diff-ns, there's two suspicious lines which I think that explain the problem : Synaptics DeviceOff called Synaptics DeviceOn called These two lines should not be here, they show clearly that the Synaptics were turned Off just after the user switching, and turned On just after I came back to the zxz user session. ** Attachment added: "proc_bus_input_devices_zxz" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/8666210/proc_bus_input_devices_zxz -- Synaptics doesn't work with multiple users in Xorg. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/125340 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
