But, in fact, there is a pattern to the misbehavior. Some people complain that the touchpad cursor jumps erratically.
From reading dozens of posts, it appears there are a lot of touchpad issues for Dell laptops when using the 4.0+ kernel. :-)Īfter seeing this problem on 2 different Dell laptops in a row, and E6500 and and E6430, I thought I'd make this post for posterity in case someone comes to the forums looking for a solution to this problem. Somehow, I didn't trust the solution of his cat sitting on the keyboard for an hour or so in his terminal, covering his screen in 'W's.
I searched all over the forums and found no thread that spoke directly to this problem except for one.
