There's a long standing bug in the input stack somewhere that has been hard to nail down. We haven't been able to reproduce it ourselves, and it seems to affect a small minority of people, so it's lingered. Our new stack that will be in Precise will have a completely different foundation, so this bug will disappear anyway. The issue seems to be some bad state in xserver-xorg-input-evdev. Removing the kernel driver and reloading it fixes things: $ sudo rmmod hid-magicmouse $ sudo modprobe hid-magicmouse I'm sorry I don't have any better info right now... -- Chase _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~multi-touch-dev Post to : multi-touch-dev@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~multi-touch-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
