It eventually stops - moving, but the touchpad doesn't work properly until rebooting. It acts - as if there is a second finger/heat source on the touchpad causing it to - screw up. + More information about the bug here: + + http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=48876371.5060307%40utu.fi&forum_name + =mactel-linux-users + + This bug was originally filed against the synaptics xorg driver, but it + does not appear that it was to blame. + + Thanks. -- appletouch jerkiness after suspend/resume in kernel 2.6.26 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/252187 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
