Jeff Lane, could you please confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ . If the issue remains, 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 linux <replace-with-bug-number> Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11-rc5 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-a09 needs-upstream-testing ** Tags added: precise ** Tags added: regression-update ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/924565 Title: Touchpad on Alienware M15x goes nuts, needs psmouse-ectomy to quiet down Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: This is pretty much guaranteed to happen at some point after each reboot. The touchpad will behave (it's not really used as I almost always use an attached Logitech USB Wireless Mouse) as it should for a while and then at some point the pointer starts going crazy, jumping left and right over and over. There doesn't seem to be any specific trigger, it just happens, and there doesn't appear to be any specific time frame either. Sometimes it happens within an hour of a reboot, sometimes it can take a day or more. But once it happens and the pointer starts jumping left and right on it's own, the only cure is to rmmod psmouse. I can reload psmouse and be OK for a while, but invariably, the twitchy pointer returns. This is a regression in one of the recent kernels for Oneiric. I have had Ubuntu on this system since Karmic and have never experienced this issue until a couple months or so ago with an Oneiric update. In fact, I do not recall experiencing this with the original Oneiric released bits.
