Andreas Hohenegger, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-input-evdev REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful. Thank you for your understanding.

I encounter it working under KDE 4.9 on Ubuntu 12.04 (also previous versions) which was why I asked here: http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=111&t=106913 I encounter it only working in dual screen setup with external keyboard and mouse (both Logitech) attached to my Lenovo T61 thinkpad. So far not if I do indeed use the numpad mouse but when it was left on unintentionally (not deactivated by pressing Shift+Num-Lock ). The movement of the pointer can be compensated by moving the mouse in the opposite direction but the pointer runs too fast to perform a secure logout/reboot. At the same time the system does not react to keyboard input. This is a serious bug which forces the user to force reboot the system without any chance to close unsaved files.
